Urmila Matondkar is a soft porn star: Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut is back at making headlines. The recent altercation that shook the Indian media was when the Simran star called Urmila Matondkar a 'soft porn star', reported The Indian Express. Here's what happened: Ranaut had earlier alleged that Bollywood actors are 'serial drug users.' The Rangeela star recently, in an interview with India Today, questioned Kangana to reveal all she knows. 

The Judaai actor said, “Where are the names? I would like Kangana to actually come forward and do us all a huge favour by giving out those name and call out those people. Let’s have it all out. I will be the first one to say thumbs up to you girl. To claim that the entire film industry is all about drug mafia is not just an overstatement, but I don’t even know what to call it.”

She added, “Everything that you have got today, the name, the fame and the money, is all thanks to Mumbai and the film industry. Why is it that you have not spoken about these things in the last so many years and are speaking about all this only in the last few months? The timing seems funny. Everything seems to be going a bit berserk.”

It was unlikely of Ranaut to let the Janam Samjha Karo star's comment. During an interaction with Times Now, the Tanu Weds Manu star reiterated and said, “I saw one very derogatory interview given by Urmila Matondkar. The way she was talking about me, pulling faces, making a mockery about my struggles, attacking me on the fact that I am trying to appease BJP for a ticket. One doesn’t have to be a genius to figure for me it is not very difficult to get a ticket. Urmila is a soft porn star. She is not known for her acting for sure, what is she known for? For doing soft porn, right. If she could get a ticket, why wouldn’t I get a ticket?”

Soon after this interview was aired, many film celebrities jumped to Urmila Matondkar’s defense. Swara Bhasker took to Twitter and shared, “Dear Urmila Matondkar ji, remembering ur outstanding performances in Masoom, Chamatkaar, Rangeela, Judaai, Daud, Satya, Bhoot, Kaun, Jungle, Pyaar Tuney Kya Kiya, Tehzeeb, Pinjar, Ek Hasina Thi.. among others and have marvelled at your acting chops & brilliant dancing! Love you”

Director Anubhav Sinha tweeted, “Just felt like saying this to one of the most beautiful, elegant, evocative, expressive actresses ever. Sending you love Urmila Matondkar.”
