Controversy! Javed Akhtar Reveals Reason Behind Filing DEFAMATION CASE Against Kangana Ranaut (Details Inside)

There has been tension between Kangana Ranaut and Javed Akhtar. Everything came about as a result of what Kangana said in an interview about Javed Akhtar. Her conflict with Hrithik Roshan was a factor in it. Kangana reportedly remarked something similar to Akhtar's claim that she would have to kill herself. This single statement damaged Javed Akhtar's reputation, and after a few months the lyricist, screenwriter, and poet initiated a defamation lawsuit against the 'Emergency' actress. And in a recent interview, he finally disclosed the reason it took him so long to do so.

Javed Akhtar discusses his feelings of humiliation and pressure in an interview that is now making the rounds in the entertainment news. If people hadn't called him repeatedly, reminded him of the interview, and expressed their displeasure with the seasoned lyricist, he claims he would have completely forgotten about it. People in Lucknow called him and said they didn't anticipate this behaviour from him. The video was on YouTube, where it received millions of views. The topic was a disagreement with Hrithik Roshan.

Kangana Ranaut stated that Javed Akhtar threatened to blacken her face and expel her from the industry, according to Javed Akhtar, who spoke in a recent interview. Kangana claims that Javed Akhtar told her that he would throw her in jail and leave her with no choice but to kill herself. According to Akhtar, Kangana thought he belonged to a suicide gang. Akhtar was obviously really upset by everything. He could have ignored it, but when he started getting calls and realised there would be no end to them, he felt compelled to file a complaint against the actress.

He said, "People did not let me forget it, and it was getting bigger and more and more embarrassing, so I had to file this complaint."

Kangana mentioned about him threatening her in an interview she gave to a magazine in February 2020, according to Javed Akhtar. But after Sushant Singh Rajput died, he continues, there was a lot of debate about suicide. She claimed in the interview with the magazine that he had threatened him, but after the death of the actor from 'Kedarnath,' she used the same word and claimed that he was pressuring her to take her own life.
