It all began when Kangana said in a television interview not so long ago that she “fails to understand why exes do silly things to get your attention”. It was believed that the “silly ex” she referred to was none other than the recently divorced Hrithik Roshan.
Perhaps, there still would have been some room for doubt, had the man himself not felt the need to clarify his stance.
Soon after Kangana’s interview was out Hrithik tweeted: “There r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful) women d media hs ben naming. Thanks but no thanks, (sic)”.
Kangana gave a fitting reply to this sarcastic tweet in another television interview where she said, “No. I am not hurt. I respect the other person’s opinion also. It’s very likely that a person can have a different perspective on the same situation or rather the past. But then, stick to your stand. Don’t slyly pursue people and spy on them, and chase them. So, we sign and seal the deal and then move on.”
All this was around three months ago. But just when we thought it was another Bollywood gossip that had fizzled out, Hrithik Roshan slapped Kangana Ranaut with a six-page legal notice, asking her to call a press conference within seven days and clarify that it wasn’t him she was referring to while talking about her ex and the silly things exes do.
According to industry sources, the actor is also being rather vocal about the matter and he has been sharing the details with his friends from the industry.
A source close to Kangana said that she has replied to the six-page legal notice with a 21-page document charging Hrithik with intimidation and threat.
The source also confirmed that the document was sent to Hrithik Roshan but he didn’t want to comment on the issue any further. Kangana is not in Mumbai at the moment — the actress is shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon in Arunachal Pradesh.
A filmmaker close to both, on condition of anonymity, said, “In her interview, Kangana didn’t mention Hrithik’s name at all and we were all taken by surprise when Hrithik reacted in the manner that he did. When the legal notice was sent, she had to reply. But fact remains that she wants to end the chapter peacefully and move on.
“It’s funny and silly how Hrithik has threatened her to put all the communication between them in the public domain. Who does that!
“Hrithik has probably reacted a bit too strongly and created a big scene out of it for no reason. Why would you threaten a woman that you will make public all the private communication that you two had shared when you were together?”
