At an award function, Varun Dhawan along with hosts for the event Karan Johar and Saif Ali Khan mocked Kangana in the wake of the nepotism controversy.
The trio were criticised on social media for the joke made at the expense of the actress and had to eventually apologise for the same.
When asked about her take on the controversy, Kangana told reporters, "I've written about it. I've said everything on that matter in the letter. It is pretty much that."
Post the award function controversy, while Varun apologised on Twitter, Saif claimed in an open letter that he had personally said sorry to Kangana
In her letter Kangana had said that the debate and exchange of thoughts on nepotism is "exasperating, but is healthy."
Quoting a part of her "Rangoon" co-star's letter, where he "emphasised" on nepotism being an investment on tried and tested genes, Kangana had said, "I have spent a significant part of my life studying genetics. But, I fail to understand how you can compare genetically hybrid racehorses to artistes!"
The actress was speaking at the trailer launch of her next film "Simran" directed by Hansal Mehta. The movie will hit the theatres on September 15.
