Kangana, then hit out at Diljit’s tweet with a fiery message. Kangana referred to Diljit as Karan Johar’s pet, since the actor had featured in KJo’s production venture ‘Good Newwz’. 

Diljit gave a hard-hitting reply to Kangana and questioned her, “Are you a pet of all those people with whom you have worked in a film? Then the list will be long?” He had also slammed her stating that they were not Bollywood people but from Punjab and that the amount of drama she has created, ‘Punjab wale’ would do it right and that no one else can handle it.
