Rajeev wrote the most poisonous blind items about Shushant and me, he openly licked mediocre star kids and gave negative reviews to genuinely good films, even as a journalist he was always KJO minion. Good he left jurno facade and joined KJO officially 👍 https://t.co/Y9jkL9D9wU

Rajeev Madand is the most unfair and partial journalist and the whole world knows that. Dharma Productions was extremely bad and now it’s going to be worst. Two biggest idiots put together. https://t.co/7hk7bodm2j

Don’t like the way she quarrels with everyone, but this time I surely agree with her. It’s commendable that she has revealed the true face of that so called film critic Rajeev Masand.p https://t.co/oAam85aYLS

Karan Johar had partnered with Bunty Sajdeh, CEO of Cornerstone, a talent management firm in December 2020. Together, they launched DCA.
What do you think of Kangana’s strong reaction to Masand’s appointment?
