Sonu
Nigam,
in
a
recent
interview,
said
that
he
believes
Kangana
Ranaut's
claims
that
filmmaker
Mahesh
Bhatt
threw
a
slipper
at
the
actress.
However,
writer
Shagufta
Rafique
who
penned
Kangana's
films
Woh
Lamhe
and
Raaz:
The
Mystery
Continues
defended
Mahesh
Bhatt
while

of
India.

She
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
daily,
"I
have
been
hearing
all
that
has
been
spoken
about
Bhatt
Saab
by
Kangana
Ranaut.
I
do
agree
that
he
shouted
at
her
and
there
are
reasons
for
it.''
Dismissing
the
stories
of
Mahesh
Bhatt
hitting
Kangana
with
a
shoe
as
completely
untrue,
she
added,
"He
did
raise
his
voice
at
her
at
the
Woh
Lamhe
(2006)
trial
when
she
came
late
for
the
show...There
were
some
shooting
issues
and
that
she
had
turned
down
a
film
which
of
course
is
her
right,
But
she
is
going
back
to
the
past
and
adding
something
that
never
happened
at
all.
The
entire
unit
was
present
for
the
trial
show,
including
Mohit
Suri,
Mukesh
Bhatt
and
rest
of
the
star
cast.
I
was
a
witness
that
yes
he
did
yell
at
her
too
much
but
It
is
just
not
in
his
nature
to
do
something
that
he
is
being
accused
of."
Meanwhile,
post
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
demise,
Kangana
Ranaut
levelled
nepotism
allegations
against
Mahesh
Bhatt.
Her
digital
team
even
got
into
a
war
of
words
with
Mahesh
Bhatt's
daughter
Pooja
Bhatt
on
this
topic.
Reacting
to
Kangana's
nepotism
allegations
against
Mahesh
Bhatt,
Shagufta
said,
"I
came
from
nowhere,
I
was
a
bar
singer
who
found
it
difficult
to
get
my
first
break
too
as
a
writer,
but
it
was
Bhatt
Saab
who
gave
me
my
first
break
and
changed
my
whole
life.
He
is
one
of
the
very
few
who
has
worked
with
so
many
new
comers.
He
has
launched
the
careers
of
actors
writers
musicians
lyricists
etc.
So
the
question
of
nepotism
and
Mahesh
Bhatt
does
not
arise
at
all."
Kangana's
last
film
with
the
Bhatts
was
the
2009
film
Raaz:
The
Mystery
Continues
which
also
starred
Emraan
Hashmi
and
Adhyayan
Suman.
Shagufta,
who
wrote
that
film,
further
added,
"If
such
an
incident
had
happened
with
her
and
she
had
a
problem
with
Mahesh
Bhatt,
why
did
she
work
with
vishesh
films
at
all,
is
a
question
she
needs
to
ask
herself."
Kangana
Ranaut's
explosive
interview
with
a
leading
channel,
in
which
she
called
out
nepotism
and
favouritism
in
the
film
industry
has
stirred
a
debate
in
Bollywood.
