Bollywood actors are often known for making problematic statements about each other and propagating ‘cattiness’. At this point, Bollywood is pretty much the same as any other business, with actors often having clashing feelings towards each other. So while you and I like to talk about our managers and associates behind their backs, actors also feel the need to vent out! Unfortunately, since they are always in the limelight, their statements make it to the public eye. Here is a list of 10 controversial comments said by actors:
1. Priyanka Chopra’s Reply To An Alleged Diss By Kareena Kapoor
While advertising her 2012 film Heroine, Kareena Kapoor at an event said that Heroine would fare more superior at the box office to Madhur Bhandarkar’s award-winning Fashion featuring Priyanka Chopra. Kareena’s statement didn’t sit well with Priyanka, and the National Award-winning actress chose to give it back to Kareena abruptly. Priyanka replied back savagely, “Well, I guess if you don’t have one (national award), then it’s just sour grapes, you know. What do I say?”
2. Sonam Kapoor’s Answer To Shobha De’s Unwarranted Comments
The feature writer and actress got into a heated argument after she remarked on Sonam’s attractiveness while alluding to her lingerie photoshoot, the actress let loose about the writer via social media. The actress stated “Guys pls don’t take Shobhaa De seriously. She’s a fossil who’s getting no action and going through menopause.”
3. Deepika Padukone On Ranbir Kapoor During Koffee With Karan
While Deepika Padukone might speak candidly about how she and Ranbir are now good pals, her appearance on Karan Johar’s chat show in 2010 suggested otherwise. In response to KJo’s question of what she’d want to gift ex-flame Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika unabashedly stated, “I’d like to gift a pack of condoms to Ranbir because he uses them too much.”
4. Kareena Kapoor On Being Compared To Aishwarya Rai
Some reports had claimed that before Kareena Kapoor was offered the lead role in the movie, Heroine, Aishwarya Rai has been approached but had to leave due to her pregnancy. When Kareena was later asked about the same and even compared to Aishwarya during a press conference, she stated: “There is no point in comparing me with Aishwarya, we’re from two different generations.”
5. Shahid Kapoor On Working With His Ex- Kareena Kapoor
While the ex-lovers have teamed up for many successful films in the past, including Jab We Met, the actor had a very quirky response to when he was quizzed about working with his ex. The actor stated, “If my director wants me to work with a cow or a buffalo, I am ready to do it.”
6. Anushka Sharma On Competition With Deepika Padukone
Anushka alleged that she was being hounded by calls from friends of Deepika making fun of Anushka for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani going into Deepika’s hands. Anushka responded to the ‘trash thrown at her’ in a meeting with a popular news agency and made statements that started a cold war between the two actresses. “I am Kashyap’s and Hirani’s choice. She is Ayan’s and whosoever. I never pull anybody down. That makes me nice, right?” the actress stated candidly.
7. Jaya Bachchan On The Spat Between Salman Khan And Shah Rukh Khan
Post the spat between the two biggest superstars of Bollywood, the usually reclusive Jaya Bachchan came forth and bared her emotions during an interview. She stated that she still considers SRK to be her son but was extremely disgusted by his alleged snide remarks on her daughter in law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Jaya said, “I would have slapped Shah Rukh if he had made any infamous statement about Aishwarya in my presence.”
8. Naseeruddin Shah On Farhan Akhtar’s Films
Known for being one of the finest actors Bollywood has to offer, it took his fans by surprise when he passed a remark on Farhan Akhtar. During an interview, the veteran actor was quizzed on his taste for new-age actors and directors. The actor stated, “Farhan Akhtar films are the ones I clearly don’t care for.”
9. Aamir Khan Takes A Dig At Shah Rukh Khan In A Blog Post
The competition between the three Khans that dominate Bollywood has consistently been a much-loved fodder for page-3 columnists. However, things went over the edge when the actors themselves started taking cheap potshots at each other. Aamir Khan took it to a new level of low by sharing an episode on his blog which insulted SRK fans as well as the actor himself. Aamir allegedly wrote, “Shah Rukh is licking my feet, and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?”
10. Sonam Kapoor On Looks And Acting Skills
Sonam said on Koffee with Karan that it’s very typical for individuals to consider ‘glamorous actors’ as non-actors and shockingly received a nod of approval from her father while stating it. The actress said, “Just because one looks ugly, doesn’t mean he/she can act.”
