‘Queen’ Kangana Ranaut’s take on nepotism on Koffee with Karan season 5 had left everyone stunned. She is known as a bold and fearless actress but we are sure, the actress must have never imagined she would land in such trouble where the industry members will turn up against her. Karan Johar has not forgotten about it and it was clear at IIFA Awards 2017 where he, along with co-host Saif Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan took a dig at the ‘Rangoon’ actress. Their ‘Nepotism Rocks’ act clearly did not go down well with social media buffs. Within minutes the trio got trolled on social media.

And to undo the damage, filmmaker David Dhawan’s son Varun Dhawan took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and apologized for his act at IIFA 2017. He tweeted, “I express my apology and regret .. I am extremely sorry if I have offended or hurt anyone with that act..” Was that for real or just a gimmick to win sympathy from his fans?

At the IIFA Awards ceremony it was Saif Ali Khan who brought up the nepotism issue. He said, “You (Varun) are here because of your papa” to which the ‘Dishoom’ actor replied, “You are here because of your mummy (Sharmila Tagore)”. Karan joined the duo and the trio shouted, “Nepotism rocks”. It did not take much time for social media buffs to react. Kangana was not present for the event. Yes, it all happened in her absence.
