Kangana Ranaut recently made a startling revelation in a television interview stating, “Aditya Pancholi got an apartment for me but didn’t allow my friends to come there. It was a kind of house arrest. Then I went to meet his wife. His daughter is a year older than me. I was a minor”.

Narrating the incident, she revealed, “I remember going to his wife (Zarina Wahab) and meeting her, and I was like ‘Please save me! I’m younger than your daughter. I can’t tell my parents. She said to me that they were relieved that he was not at home otherwise he raised his hand on domestic helpsand others. She said it’s actually good for us if he is not around, so I can’t help you”.

Now, Aditya and his wife Zarina had sent a legal notice to Kangana. Aditya spoke about the same to a leading daily, “I am not angry, but I am definitely hurt by Kangana’s act”.

He revealed, “The legal team sent Kangana and her sister Rangoli notices, but their response wasn’t up to the mark. We asked them to apologise unconditionally on the same national platforms where Kangana made those derogatory remarks against me. Eventually, her sister and she dragged even my son, daughter and wife into all this. That’s the reason Zarina and I decided to file a defamation case against her, which is both civil and criminal”.

Asked if his complaint is related to Kangana’s controversy with Hrithik Roshan, he stated, “My case against Kangana has nothing to do with what is happening between Hrithik and her. Hrithik can deal with his own issues, but I’m clear that I will not keep quiet about whatever is bothering me. Cases are fought on merit and evidence. Remarks and statements will not come handy in the court of law,proofwill. The onus to prove her merit lies with her. Once the case is up for hearing, we’ll know”.

“Kangana has no right to talk about my family and me in such a manner. Why should I shut up? If I don’t fight for my family, who will? If someone makes remarks about my family, should I lock myself up in a room and sit tight? Someone has to put an end to her lies, and the only way to do it is through the law. I don’t want to stoop to her level”, concludes Aditya.
