New Delhi: Lock Upp host and controversy queen Kangana Ranaut, in an unseen video shared by a fan page, claimed that she doesn't have a problem with nepotism. In the same breath, she also defended her new reality TV show's producer Ekta Kapoor and claimed that Ekta was never part of the 'bully gang'.

Kangana explained that there is a difference between ganging up against outsiders and nepotism.

She said, "Nepotism was never my problem. The problem was ganging up on outsiders because of nepotism. There is a difference. Agar aap apne kaam tasalee se kar rahe hai then no problem (If you are doing your job quietly, no problem). But to say ‘ye outsider hain, ye yaha nahi hone chahiye because ye humare baap dada ki jagah hai (these are outsiders and shouldn't be here because this is our forefathers’ place), isn't it wrong? Ekta has never been a part of a bully gang, that I can assure you."
