Do you remember when Kangana Ranaut had initiated a 'nepotism war' against Karan Johar on Koffee With Karan 5? Some of them even got to know about the term for the first time and hailed Kangana for shedding light on this norm in Bollywood. However, now in 2020, the curly-haired actress herself is getting tagged with the 'nepotism' label. For the uninitiated, the Queen star launched her production company-Manikarnika Films at Pali Hill in Mumbai. Her 'pilot' brother Aksht also joined her who will look after legal and finance departments.

Even though they mentioned that he did a study in the New York film academy, the netizens found it weird how his inclusion itself is a type of nepotism. Kangana's manager and sister, Rangoli Chandel, of course, tried to do some damage control by hitting back at the ones who were calling out her sibling.

She tweeted, "She may b wel established as an actor bt nt as a producer,Aksht wl handle legal & financial aspect which r father shud hv handled bt I agree he is getting his sister’s support so if he is successful in future he might b a nepo product let’s see,let’s give him a fair chance."

She also slammed a publication for dragging Kangana in the nepotism debate. However, that did not deter the fans from trolling her. They reminded her of the battle of words and a 'cause' that Ms Ranaut herself started in the first place. The one she started because she truly believed that nepotism was unethical.

Well, now we won't be surprised if the Gangster actress has to face a fresh debate on the same old topic, this time with the tables turned on her! Aksht, on the other hand, is beginning his career in Ranaut's maiden production, and he is already a part of nepotism controversy.
