Hrithik issue didn't die down, it has proper end: Kangana Ranaut

Mumbai, Sept 1 (IBNS): Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut once again broke her silence over her alleged relationship with industry mate Hrithik Roshan saying the conflict with the latter didn't die down rather had a proper end to it as the actor failed to prove any of his claims made against the Queen actress.

The actress in an interview to Rajeev Masand, clarified to say that the actor had hacked her email which was closed years ago and written all the mails to the actor's email with a an agenda (to accuse Kangana).

The public fight between the two actors started after Kangana referred to Hrithik as "a silly ex" in an interview to be retorted by the latter saying on Twitter: "Ther 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."

Later the actor not only slapped a notice against Kangana for causing damage to his public image, but also filed a complaint in the cyber crime cell saying the actress was communicating with an imposter on email. 

In the interview which was aired on a television channel on Thursday, Kangana said: "He (Hrithik) claimed many things and said there is an imposter but failed to prove anything and the report of cyber crime is nil. Also he and his father (Rakesh Roshan) claimed to expose (me) but they didn't say anything."

Upholding the report of the cyber crime cell, the Rangoon actress said nothing was found against her.

The actress who had shared screen with Hrithik in Krrish 3, even went on to say that she was afraid at the whole incident.

"Of course I was afraid of it. Who wouldn't be? .................I didn't know I was a part of such a big scam. This person (Hrithik) has done prep. (preparation) for two years to put me behind bars for having an affair with him. "

Kangana also demanded an apology from Hrithik and his father Rakesh Roshan over the whole incident. She said Hrithik's father assured her to sit together and solve the matter but they never met the actress.

"He and his father made fool of themselves. They should apologise to me in public and if they don't, its fine. But I will clarify and simplify to everyone who will ask me about it" the actress stated.

However, the 31-year old actress didn't drag the issue of nepotism which was brought by filmmaker Karan Johar, actors Varun Dhawan and Saif Ali Khan at IIFA 2017.

Giving it a broader prospect, Kangana on nepotism said: "I think nepotism is not just the industry issue, it is a huge issue all over the country and lot of people are really struggling with it that is why I think it became such a debate and the consequences that (it) had."

She even termed Johar's apology to her as "responsible". "He (Karan Johar) came across some sort of redemption that happened."

The IIFA stage episode where Johar, Dhawan and Saif Ali Khan pulled off an act taking a jibe at Kangana Ranaut was apparently aimed at the actress who on Karan's show Koffee With Karan earlier this year called him "the flagbearer of nepotism" in Bollywood.

But the award show act did not go well with people at large as criticism poured in on social media from all quarters with many blasting the trio for what they called their "shamelessness" in bragging their privileged status in the film industry.

Karan,Saif and Varun made fun of the nepotism comment of Kangana and were seen saying on stage: "Nepotism rocks".

Later Karan Johar said he regretted taking a joke too far at the event and it is only talent that rocks in the film industry.

Karan Johar told NDTV: "Of course I don't believe that 'nepotism rocks'. Of course, I believe that only talent rocks. If anything that rocks, it's your talent, hard work and conviction."

"It's the energy you bring to your job. What we said was meant to be a joke, which I think has been misplaced, misunderstood and I think it went wrong. I regret it," he said.

Varun Dhawan also tweeted to say: "I express my apology and regret .. I am extremely sorry if I have offended or hurt anyone with that act."

Even as the Bollywood trio of Karan Johar, Varun Dhawan and Saif Ali Khan expressed their regret in different ways and tried to move on, it was actress Kangana Ranaut who had the last laugh.

An open letter to Saif Ali Khan in response to one written by the latter after the controversy, went viral again where Kangana refuted every argument of Saif with solid reasons and articulation.

Refuting her Rangoon co-star's argument, Kangana said if the Bollywood actor's views on genetic inheritance were right, then she would have been a farmer back at home.

She said hybrid racehorses and artistes are not same.

In one para of the open letter, Kangana said: "Saif, in your letter you mentioned that, “I apologised to Kangana, and I don’t owe anyone any explanation, and this issue is over.” But this is not my issue alone. Nepotism is a practice where people tend to act upon temperamental human emotions, rather than intellectual tendencies. Businesses that are run by human emotions and not by great value-systems, might gain superficial profits. However, they cannot be truly productive and tap into the true potential of a nation of more than 1.3 billion people."

The actress who got a national award for her performance in Queen released in 2014, was last seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon opposite Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor in 2017.

She is presently working on Manikarnika—The Queen of Jhansi, a biopic on Rani of Jhansi, the film directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi.

Her next film Simran will hit the big screens on September 15.
