Actress Kangana Ranaut and filmmaker Karan Johar were among the several recipients of Padma Awards at the ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday. However, the actress says that she was unable to spot Karan at the ceremony and she believes that it was because organisers made sure that two of them don't meet each other. Kangana and Karan have a feud going on and the former has been quite vocal about it on social media.

Kangana said, "Our ceremonies were at different times. I think they went out of their way to keep us on different timings...I tried to spot him around but he was not there." Kangana has called Karan "flag bearer of nepotism" and "movie mafia" on several occasions while criticising his casting decisions. However, she says that she would've talked to Karan had they met during the ceremony.

She said, "There can be conflicts, there can be disagreements but it does not mean you do not believe in coexistence. That is what I believe in, coexistence. I encourage the coexistence of all kinds."
