\nThe Press Club of India on Saturday said it supports the decision of the Entertainment Journalists Guild to boycott actor Kangana Ranaut for refusing to apologise for lashing out at a PTI reporter during a press conference.
\nMembers of the Press Club of India said in a statement that they are anguished and shocked at the incident and condemned Ranaut\u2019s behaviour and language towards PTI journalist Justin Rao.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe the Press Club of India are aghast, anguished and shocked at the incident involving an actress of Bollywood using uncivilised, uncultured, filthy and abusive language against the media persons. We condemn it in the strongest possible words. This behaviour and hurling abuses towards journalists is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe support the decision of the boycott by the journalists covering the entertainment industry in Mumbai namely Entertainment Journalists Guild,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Mumbai Press Club had also condemned Ranaut\u2019s behaviour towards the news media, particularly the PTI journalist.
\nIn a release it said, Ranaut accused the journalist of running a \u201csmear campaign\u201d against her and her last release Manikarnika.
\nInstead of making amends, the release added, Rangoli Chandel, Ranaut\u2019s sister and manager, launched an \u201cabusive\u201d attack against news media on Twitter.
\nWhile Judgementall Hai Kya producer Ekta Kapoor apologised for the incident, Ranaut has refused to do so.
\n\u201cThe Entertainment Journalists\u2019 Guild, which first raised the issue, has pointed out that this is not the first time Ms Ranaut and her manager-sister have insulted and abused journalists. It has become part of their unprofessional conduct,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n
The Mumbai Press Club said it stands by Entertainment Journalists\u2019 Guild\u2019s demand of an apology from Ranaut to Justin Rao and the other journalists for her behaviour.
\nThe Press Club of India on Saturday also extended their support to the Mumbai Press Club for undertaking thorough enquiry of the matter.
\n\u201cThe Press Club of India wish to appeal to the saner and civilised members of the Bollywood to prevail upon these uncivilised, uncultured and unruly elements and entities of their industry. We hope and expect that the sanity and wisdom will prevail,\u201d the statement further read.<\/p>\n

\nOn July 7, Ranaut had accused Rao of writing negatively about her film Manikarnika.
\nThe journalist denied the allegations and the actor\u2019s claim that he personally messaged her and spent three hours in her vanity van. He said he met the actor briefly for an interview and there were no personal messages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
