**Kangana Ranaut’s Unfiltered Take on Bollywood**
Known for her bold and often controversial statements, Kangana Ranaut stirred the pot once again while discussing her struggles to find genuine friendships in Bollywood. Speaking on a podcast, Kangana didn’t hold back her disdain for the Hindi film industry’s lifestyle.
“I can’t be friends with Bollywood people for sure. They are so full of themselves. They are stupid, dumb, and [all about] protein shakes,” she said. Kangana detailed how many in the industry follow a monotonous cycle of physical training, gym sessions, and superficial interests.
“They are like grasshoppers; totally blank. How can you be friends with such people? They have no idea about what is going on [around them],” she asserted. Her candid assessment further fuels her reputation as someone who often stands apart from the mainstream Bollywood ethos.

Actor Abhishek Banerjee, currently enjoying the success of Stree 2, recalled a significant career hurdle in a recent interview. He shared how he was unceremoniously removed from his role as a casting director for the 2012 film Agneepath.
“It was then taken over by Jogi [Mallang] bhai. We were removed. Karan sir didn’t like our casting,” Banerjee recounted. The actor didn’t specify whether he referred to Karan Johar or the film’s director Karan Malhotra, but the painful experience stands as a testament to his resilience in the cutthroat industry.
