The latest salvo in the ongoing row between Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut has been fired by the former who took to Twitter on Thursday to make his first
\npublic statement on the matter. Writing that he could no longer ignore the \u201cdirty perverse mess\u201d that he had been \u201cdragged\u201d into, the actor stated, \u201cThe truth
\nis, I have never met the lady in question one on one in my entire life. Yes, we have worked together, but there has been no meeting in private. Thats (sic) the
\ntruth.\u201d He further stated that there was no evidence to back up Ranaut\u2019s claim that the two had been in a \u201c7-year long, passionate affair\u201d and said \u201cI have been
\nharassed by this for 4 years and the well meaning and probably necessary social bias towards women has deemed me helpless in defending myself.\u201d
\nThe row began as a war of words between the two sides when, in an interview last year, Ranaut said that she didn\u2019t understand why \u201cexes do silly things\u201d to get
\nattention. This was in response to a question about whether Roshan had had her dropped as the female lead in Aashiqui 3. Roshan responded on Twitter by
\ndenying any such relationship, but the matter quickly escalated when he sent her a legal notice, demanding an apology. In response Ranaut\u2019s lawyer Rizwan<\/p>\n
Siddiqui sent a 21-page reply stating that whatever happened between the two \u201cwas with full consent of both parties\u201d.A major bone of contention in the matter is the large number of emails which Ranaut claims to have received from Roshan, and which the latter has denied
\nsending. In interviews given over the course of the row, Ranaut had opened up about the affair and even demanded an apology from Roshan for having caused
\nher \u201cmental trauma\u201d by leaking the emails she had sent him, while in April this year, Roshan\u2019s lawyers filed a complaint asserting that Ranaut had been stalking
\nand harassing the actor by sending explicit emails. Gunjan Mangla, an associate of Mahesh Jethmalani, working on Roshan\u2019s case told The Indian Express, \u201cAll
\nemails were submitted to the cyber crime cell and the investigation is underway. Mr Roshan has also submitted his passport details, to counter all the
\nallegations made by Ms. Ranaut. We are positive that cyber cell will do a fair investigation.\u201d
\nResponding to the latest development, Ranaut\u2019s sister Rangoli Chandel posted a photo on Twitter of an email allegedly received from Roshan. Ranaut\u2019s lawyer
\nRizwan Siddiquiee claimed that Roshan was using diversionary tactics and not answering questions.<\/p>\n
