In a recent news, the prominent lyricist Javed Akhtar has been called to appear before the Magistrate court in Mumbai on 5 August following accusations made by actress Kangana Ranaut, citing insulting and derogatory remarks against her.
This feud between the two prominent personalities has been ongoing since 2016, but it escalated significantly in 2020 when Javed Akhtar filed complaint against the actress.
The roots of the conflict trace back to 2016 when Kangana Ranaut disclosed an alleged affair with actor Hrithik Roshan during the filming of ‘Krrish 3’ in 2014.
Kangana publicly referred to Hrithik as her “silly ex” during interviews and made several comments about him. In response, Hrithik filed a complaint against her for alleged “mental harassment,” leading to a legal battle between the two.
Where does Javed Akhtar fit in all this you might ask? Let me catch you up..
It was during all this fiasco between Kangana and Hrithik that Javed Akhtar entered the picture. He invited Kangana to his residence to discuss and offer advice regarding the ongoing spat with the acto.
Subsequently, Kangana revealed to the media that Javed had coerced her into speaking about the matter, which prompted the lyricist to file a defamation case against her in 2020.
Fast forward three years, and it appears that the dispute remains unresolved, with Javed Akhtar being summoned under Article 509 (Insult to modesty of a woman). The legal proceedings have continued, indicating that the feud may continue for an extended period.
This incident raises questions about why celebrities often resort to airing their grievances in the media instead of resolving issues privately.
The public hearings have garnered attention for their unpredictability and potential repercussions on the reputations of those involved, as seen in other high-profile cases like that of Amber Heard.
As the Kangana-Javed feud unfolds, further updates on the matter are eagerly anticipated.
However, it remains to be seen whether the two personalities will find a way to settle their differences and bring an end to this prolonged and publicized conflict.
