She added, "Let's not lose sight of the fact that this started as a nepotism charge, then, Rhea (Chakraborty) was accused of murder and siphoning off Rs 15 crore from Sushant's (Singh Rajput) account, none of which stood any ground. The AIIMS report clearly states it was not murder. So 'Justice for Sushant' has given way to 'Weed out the Druggies', the goal post keeps changing. Instead of focusing on mental health as a serious issue in our society, it's sensationalism that's at play."

Talking about Kangana Ranaut, Shabana Azmi told the publication, "Kangana has started believing in her own myth. She says she taught feminism to the film industry, she taught it nationalism. I'm glad she spelled that out because nobody else had noticed! I think she fears the day when she will no longer be in the headlines and so has to keep making outrageous statements to stay in the news. Poor girl, why doesn't she just do what she is best at, which is acting."
