Moreover, after Ranveer's shocking revelation about being replaced by Ranbir Kapoor in the film Bombay Velvet, Karan Johar was slammed by netizens for nepotism and promoting B-Town kids such as his favourite Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday in the industry.?

The show featured Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt and both were asked if they were ever rejected by filmmakers for any role, to which the Hollywood debutante responded that she was never rejected.?

However, had to say otherwise. "I was not rejected, K (Karan Johar). I was unceremoniously dropped because at the time I couldn’t justify the budget. My star value wasn’t high. But things have changed," the actor, who recently went nude on Instagram told Karan Johar.
