It wasn’t enough that actress Kangana Ranaut had earlier alleged that as many as 99 per cent of the film industry are drug users, she now wants prominent celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayan Mukerji and Vicky Kaushal to undergo a drug test so that rumours about them being ‘cocaine addicts’ can be put to rest.
“I request Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayan Mukerji, Vicky Kaushik to give their blood samples for drug test, there are rumours that they are cocaine addicts, I want them to bust these rumours, these young men can inspire millions if they present clean samples. @PMOIndia,” she wrote on Twitter.
The rumours started last year when politician Manjinder Singh Sirsa shared a video from Karan Johar’s party, originally shared by the filmmaker himself. Sirsa claimed that the guests were proudly flaunting their “drugged state”.

In an interview with Rajeev Masand, Johar had addressed the allegations and stated that he wouldn’t have put up the video in the first place if they were doing drugs.
“It was a very chilled-out party. That video is put out. And right after, I am in the hills in Arunachal Pradesh, with the Army, for three-four days, where there is no network. Obviously I don’t know. And I have no clue that I’ve become the ‘charsi of the country’!” Kaushal had told Mid-Day, denying all allegations.
