Kangana has been taking potshots at Karan for several years and after the Prime Video event, she did it once again. Taking to her Instagram stories, the actress made a reference to Karan and several Bollywood celebrities attending a recent party hosted for Netflix Global Chief Bela Bajaria in Mumbai. Kangana said that while the Netflix head was attending star-studded parties hosted by ‘a fading 90s director’, the heads at Amazon Prime Video were busy interacting with the people for content creation.

“Data suggests that Amazon Prime Video is doing way better than Netflix in India maybe because they are much more open-minded and democratic, when international head visits India they don’t park themselves at a fading 90s director’s infamous party but meet everyone who is contributing to them… Last I heard Netflix head was not able to understand Indian market… Well Indian market is not just one b***hy gossipy nineties director…. There are hundreds of talented people here," Kangana wrote.
