Supporting Blake Lively

Recently, Kangana also threw her support behind Blake Lively in her case against It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni. The actor-politician drew parallels between Hollywood and the Indian film industry while bringing up the Hema Committee report.

She wrote, “Even in Hollywood women who refuse to compromise, they are maligned and their careers are destroyed its not just Bollywood similar report called Heme Committee had come out about the Malayalam film industry, it is worrying and shameful.” For the unversed, Blake filed a complaint against Justin, accusing him of sexual harassment and attempting to tarnish her reputation.
