The ‘lines’ laid on the table get longer, laced with ever stronger stuff. When Kangana Ranaut accused “99 per cent of Bollywood” to be drug addicts in a recent interview amidst the twists and turns in the ongoing Sushant Singh Rajput-Rhea Chakraborty investigation saga, it sounded as if she had dropped the proverbial bombshell on an unsuspecting film industry.
