Javed Akhtar reveals never-before details of his meeting with Kangana Ranaut

Renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar appeared at the Andheri Magistrate court in Mumbai in connection with a criminal defamation case he filed against actor Kangana Ranaut. He revealed what exactly happened the night he met Kangana at his home.

He recalled advising Kangana on her spat with Hrithik Roshan and asking her not to wash dirty linen in public. Mr Akhtar also said he had nothing to do with the controversy between the two actors.

As per an India Today report, Javed told the court that he did not know Kangana at the time. It was their common friend Dr Ramesh Agrawal, who wanted to advice Kangana on what to do about her feud with Hrithik Roshan.

He added, ‘It is true to say that Kangana was not ready to listen to my words and she left the house with her elder sister Rangoli. It is not true to say that she was upset with my statement despite politely coming for the meeting.’

As per PTI, in the court, when Javed Akhtar was asked whether Kangana and her sister Rangoli came to his house ‘obediently’, he replied, ‘You expect obedience from Kangana, it is not called obedience, but possibility for something... some kind of a solution. Physical reality is they came to my house, but obedience is a notion only in mind.’

‘I had told her about the agenda of the meeting on call. Didn't call her to discuss the weather, political situation or America election in 2016,’ he said.

Javed Akhtar also shared what Kangana said in an interview in 2020 claiming that he asked her to apologise to her co-star Hrithik Roshan was ‘nothing but a lie’.

In 2016, Hrithik Roshan filed a lawsuit against Kangana seeking an apology after their public spat over a statement on their alleged relationship.

‘Once Javed Akhtar called me to his house and told me Rakesh Roshan (father of Hrithik Roshan) and his family are very big people. If you don't apologise to them, you will have nowhere to go. They will put you in jail, and eventually, the only path would be that of destruction… you will commit suicide. These were his words. He shouted and yelled at me. I was shaking in his house,’ Kangana had told the news channel.
