Not just Shabana, Javed Akhtar also a reason why Kangana wary of 'Deepika Bachao'

Kangana Ranaut’s statement clarifying why she refused to sign the ‘Deepika Bachao’ petition initiated by veteran actress Shabana Azmi, made it seem she’s annoyed with the latter who she felt indulged in ‘character assasination’ when she was being bullied by the Hrithik camp.

However, according to sources in the know, there is more to Kangana’s professed aversion to Shabana’s politics.

“Kangana not supporting Shabana Azmi’s petition for Deepika has its roots in a phone call that she received from Javed Akhtar when she was in the midst of her rant against the Roshans during the promotion of her film Simran. Javed saab called up Kangana to counsel her against her non-stop tirade. He told her that she should not antagonise such influential people as it would take a toll on her career, and that there are more private and legal ways of sorting out her differences with the Roshans."

While we don’t know how the conversation went, it seems that the advice given by Javed Akhtar did not go down well with Kangana.
