Please grant me my personal space: Kangana Ranaut on legal battle with Hrithik Roshan

Kangana was quizzed about her recent controversy involving Hrithik, where the duo had sent legal notices to each other.

Mumbai: Keeping mum on questions pertaining to her legal battle with actor Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut today asked media to give celebrities their personal space.

The actress, who had warned the organisers about not being asked any personal questions, was quizzed about her recent controversy involving Hrithik, where the duo had sent legal notices to each other. When prodded further, she said people should respect the private life of a celebrity.

She said, "Sometimes you guys (the media) have to allow that sort of personal space to a celebrity also. It can be very overwhelming. Strong just doesn't mean you walk through life without being affected or intimidated. Being strong means standing up amidst things in spite of all of this."

Kangana further added that she was not shying away from talking about the issue but wants her own space as of now. "... So you have got to give us a little more personal space. It is not that I won't talk about it, I will, but as of now please grant me that space and let's talk about what we are here for."

Hrithik had sent a legal notice to Kangana last month, demanding an 'unconditional apology' for a 'defaming' remark in an interview where she allegedly referred to him as 'silly ex'. Kangana, however, retaliated with a 21-page reply, charging Hrithik with 'intimidation and threat'.

Hrithik had accused Kangana of stalking him online by sending up to 50 e-mails a day, some of them explicit in nature. Hrithik put forth his ultimatum that if Kangana doesn't apologise, he will go ahead and make her emails public. Kangana retaliated by saying if Hrithik goes ahead to circulate her emails, images or any other material, she will have no option but to file a criminal case.

Later, it surfaced that Hrithik had popped the question to Kangana in Paris way back in 2014, a month after his divorce with Sussanne Khan. However, after several ups and downs, their relationship was officially over by December 2014 and it was only in March 2016 that their affair became public.

Lawyers of both the stars had earlier said there is a need for a closure to the matter which had turned 'ugly'.
