We are all aware of Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar's tiff over nepotism. It was all over the news and is still sometimes raked up by concerned parties. Both Karan and Kangana were recently conferred with the Padmashri Award and B-town and the audience have been congratulating the two. So how was it being awarded the Padmashri at the same time as Kangana? Karan Johar answered this question in an interview with Mumbai Mirror.

The filmmaker said, "I am honoured to receive the Padma Shri alongside Kangana." He also spoke about how so much as been said and written about his and Kangana's fight and equation after the fight, but he thinks they're quite cordial with each other whenever their paths cross. Shared the director, "At every public event we've met, we've greeted each other graciously. Whatever may have been said or insinuated in print, I think I'm too old and wise to hold any kind of malice in my heart for anybody. As a filmmaker, I respect Kangana's talent, craft, and what she brings to the table. She is an actor who has proved her mettle and is deserving of the honour."
