Kangana Ranaut has been at the centre of a huge scandal that has taken the industry by a storm, involving herself and Hrithik Roshan. After Hrithik Roshan issued a notice to Kangana about emails and her statements to the media about their relationship, Kangana Rauant’s lawyer issued a counter statement pointing out that Hrithik’s notice to the ‘Queen’ actress is baseless, unsubstantiated and unwarranted. The actress is currently busy shooting for ‘Rangoon’ and is expected to talk to media as soon as she’s in the city. Meanwhile her lawyer, Rizwan Siddiqui has issued this statement on behalf of her to put all allegations to rest.

The statement reads, “Mr. Hrithik’s statements made to the media are nothing but efforts to gain public sympathy. He cannot wash his hands of the matter now after having criminally threatened my client and having intimidated her without any provocation. He also cannot deny the fact that my client never named him anywhere, and it was he himself who claimed to be the ‘silly ex’ in his notice. Besides his own acts of stating in the media that he would rather “date a Pope” gave enough fodder to the media to start speculating. How can he blame my client for all his own acts of commissions and omissions?

“Further, he should have refrained from making absolutely false statements in his notice. He specifically claimed that he does not know my client socially at all. If that were the truth, then how was he attending my client’s private birthday party with his entire family and my client was attending his party besides his sister’s and his father’s birthday party as well. There is enough proof on public platforms, which sufficiently proves that Mr. Hrithik Roshan is lying.

“Pursuant to my counter-notice, there are now new claims that my client was not cooperating with the police to help with the investigation of Mr. Hrithik’s complaint. These claims are as false as his other claims. The fact is that my client was never dealing with any imposter and given the background of the matter, it is very lame on Mr. Hrithik’s part to even suggest that.

“Besides, my client was never ever asked for any cooperation in the said matter by any person for obvious reasons. The fact that Mr. Hrithik waited for seven month to lodge a complaint says it all. Now pursuant to the receipt of my notice, the complaint is once again being looked into by Mr. Hrithik Roshan only as a face-saving strategy.

“It is also worthy to note that Mr. Hrithik Roshan specifically claims to have received 50 unsolicited emails per day from my client for about 601 days (as calculated from May 24, 2014 up to Feb. 16, 2016). Accordingly, he should have received more than 30,000 emails from my client as against his own alleged claim of receiving only 1,439 emails from my client during the said period. This shows that there is non-application of mind even while making allegations. At least make efforts to do the calculations. Besides, if Mr. Hrithik Roshan was really receiving unsolicited emails from my client, then why did he not prudently block my client and went on receiving my client’s emails for such a long time? The answer is obvious.

“His own actions speak a lot, and I need not say more on behalf of my client Ms. Kangana Ranaut. Most importantly, I would like to point out that at least Mr. Hrithik Roshan should have bothered to ensure that he has a good reason to send a legal notice to my client. However, as expected, the notice is absolutely baseless, unsubstantiated, unwarranted and uncalled-for. There is not even a case of defamation made out against my client, and he is issuing a notice for defamation without application of mind.”
