After a five-year legal battle, actor-MP Kangana Ranaut and lyricist-screenwriter Javed Akhtar have mutually agreed to settle their defamation suits. Kangana announced their reconciliation on social media by sharing a photo with Javed.
Kangana took to her Instagram handle to share a happy picture with Javed. Along with the post, she wrote, “Today Javed ji and I have resolved our legal matter (defamation case) through mediation, in the mediation Javed ji has been very kind and gracious, he also ‘ agreed to write songs for my next directorial.”
Check out her Instagram Story:
Javed Akhtar filed the defamation complaint against Kangana Ranaut in 2020. He alleged that Kangana made defamatory statements on national and international television. Javed had referred to an interview given by Kangana after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Kangana had also filed a complaint against Javed alleging extortion and outraging modesty by invading her privacy.
For the unversed, Kangana Ranabut had told a news channel, “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.” The lyricist then filed a defamation case against her that went on for five years. He told the court, “Whatever Kangana said in the interview is a lie and nothing but a lie. 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.”
