Accusing actor Hrithik Roshan of resorting to deviations and media trial as a face-saving tactic, a combative Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday asked the actor to withdraw his legal notice to her or face action.
However, the actress is willing to end the matter, if Hrithik withdraws the notice asking her to publicly apologise for referring to him as ‘silly ex’, Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee said in a statement here.
“Withdrawal of notice is the best and only option. Deviations and an attempted trial by media as a face-saving tactic, may even worsen the case as it would eventually create interference in the process of delivery of justice and constrain my client to retaliate unnecessarily,” Mr Siddiquee said.
Hrithik, 42, had in February sent a notice to Kangana asking her to hold a press conference and tender an apology. Kangana, in turn, had responded with a 21-page notice, charging Hrithik with intimidation and threat. Mr Siddiquee said Hrithik is yet to respond to the counter legal notice they sent to him on March 1. “His reply-cum-counter notice received by Hrithik Roshan on the 1st of March 2016 has not been acted upon by him within 7 days, and he has still not withdrawn his allegations and claims, despite the same having been sufficiently proved to be either lies or absolutely baseless and untenable,” the lawyer said.
Kangana, 29, has not initiated any action against the actor considering his responsibility as a father of two young children, he said. “...she has therefore not initiated any action against him despite her emails being hacked and regardless of the fact that he has criminally intimidated my client and has also made imputation against her chastity, besides issuing unwarranted threats to her,” Mr Siddiquee said.
The legal fight between the two stars has been grabbing headlines for some time now.
