Rangoli Chandel, sister and manager to actress Kangana Ranaut, is known for her unfiltered and unapologetic opinion about the film industry. Time and again Rangoli has picked up fights with artists, including names like Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, Taapsee Pannu and Mahesh Bhatt among others. This time, Rangoli’s latest tweet was targetted at Mahesh Bhatt’s actress daughter Alia Bhatt.

Alia, recently, bagged a Star Screen Award in the best actor (female) category, for her performance in Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy. A video is doing rounds on twitter, in which Alia can be seen exiting the venue with the trophy in her hand. Rangoli shared the video on Twitter, taking a jibe at Alia for being "honest enough to do this in secret, and not in the public eye." According to her, Alia had left the event with the award, even before the function began. As the paparazzi start clicking her pictures, a female voice can be heard negotiating about the time when the snaps would be released. There has been no response from Alia’s end on the matter. However, after winning the award, she had posted pictures on Instagram with her trophy to express her happiness.

Before this, Chandel had attacked and criticised Alia and her mother Soni Razdan on social media. Chandel hinted at their British citizenship, and said they are "living off this land, using and abusing its people and its resources, lying about intolerance and spreading hatred." Soni hit back at Rangoli and Kangana, but later deleted her tweet.
