Mumbai Press Club backs boycott of Kangana Ranaut

 ‘It has become part of her unprofessional conduct’

The Mumbai Press Club on Friday said it backs the decision of the Entertainment Journalists Guild to boycott actor Kangana Ranaut for ‘unprofessional conduct’.

The Mumbai Press Club on Friday said it fully backs the decision of the Entertainment Journalists Guild to boycott actor Kangana Ranaut for refusing to apologise for lashing out at a PTI reporter during a press conference.

Members of the Mumbai Press Club said in a statement that they strongly condemn Ranaut's language and behaviour towards the news media, particularly towards PTI journalist Justin Rao. On Sunday, Ranaut launched an attack on the reporter even before he could ask his question during a song launch event of her film JudgeMentall Hai Kya.

She accused the journalist of running a "smear campaign" against her and her last release Manikarnika. Instead of making amends, the release said, Rangoli Chandel, Ranaut's sister and manager, launched an "abusive" attack against news media on Twitter.

While JudgeMentall Hai Kya producer Ekta Kapoor apologised for the incident, Ranaut has refused to do so.

"The Entertainment Journalists' Guild, which first raised the issue, has pointed out that this is not the first time Ms Ranaut and her manager-sister have insulted and abused journalists. It has become part of their unprofessional conduct," the release said.

"The Mumbai Press Club stands fully behind the Guild to demand Ms Ranaut tender an apology to Justin Rao and the other journalists for her behaviour. We also fully support their call for a complete boycott of her events," it said.

 

The Mumbai Press Club said it had examined the footage of the press conference. While the reporter was "fully composed", Ranaut was abusive and insulting even though as a journalist he was fully within his rights to criticise her work. "A job of a journalist is to provide independent assessment of entertainment content; and critical commentary cannot be reason enough to lose control, turn against the media and hurl expletives," the release said, adding that if necessary members of the club will take up the matter with "various associations of filmmakers."

"Since this has been a serial problem, we will also examine the option of pressing criminal charges of abuse, defamation and intimidation against Kangana Ranaut; as well as seek civil compensation for preventing journalists from carrying on their professional work," the release said.

The journalist denied the allegations and the actor's claim that he personally messaged her and spent three hours in her vanity van. He said he met the actor briefly for an interview and there were no personal messages. On Thursday, Ranaut posted a video saying that she would not apologise.

Kangana Ranaut sends legal notice to Entertainment Journalists’ Guild, delivers ultimatum to withdraw ban within 24 hours

Actor Kangana Ranaut has sent a legal notice to the Entertainment Journalists’ Guild, and the Press Club of India, demanding that the ban imposed on all coverage of her be lifted in the next 24 hours.

Actor Kangana Ranaut has sent a legal notice to the Entertainment Journalists’ Guild, and the Press Club of India, demanding that the ban imposed on coverage of matters related to her be lifted within 24 hours. Kangana was issued the ban by the EJG after an altercation she had with a PTI journalist at a recent press event for her film Judgmentall Hai Kya.

The EJG had demanded an apology from Kangana for her remarks, but the actor has refused to give one. Instead she called a section of the press ‘cheap freeloaders’ in a video posted on her team’s official Instagram account. Kangana’s remarks were described as ‘uncivilised, uncultured and unruly’ by the Press Club of India, which backed the Guild’s decision to ban her.

“We the Press Club of India are aghast, anguished and shocked at the incident involving an actress of Bollywood using uncivilised, uncultured, filthy and abusive language against the media persons. We condemn it in the strongest possible words. This behaviour and hurling abuses towards journalists is unacceptable,” the Press Club of India said in a statement Saturday.

A day previously, the Mumbai Press Club had also backed the ban in a statement. The Mumbai Press Club said it stands by Entertainment Journalists’ Guild’s demand of an apology from Kangana to journalist Justin Rao and the other journalists for her behaviour.

The legal notice, submitted by Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee, concluded by noting, “Now before my client is constrained to initiate strict proceedings and other actions including seeking huge compensatory (monetary) damages from you Addresses, for the said illegal acts already committed by you, she is hereby through me, giving you one last and final opportunity to rectify all wrongs so committed by you within 24 hours, failing which all actions as may he initiated by my client under constrain shall be entirely at the risk, costs and consequences of the board members of your organization.”
