Just when you thought the Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut drama died down, here’s another story that has crawled its way up the grapevines. Reports are running wild that the hunky ‘Mohenjo Daro’ star is upset with his colleagues from the film industry for taking Kangana’s side in their over-publicized court battle. According to online reports, Hrithik allegedly sent his ‘Krrish’ co-star Priyanka Chopra text messages for not supporting him during the troubled phase. Apparently, the actor is also upset with Vidya Balan and director Karan Johar for not showing him enough support. Hrithik is said to have also avoided Salman Khan at the recent IIFA awards in Madrid, as he didn’t help him even after hearing his side of the story. Reports also state that Hrithik got into a tiff with Salman as he didn’t want to share the stage with Daisy Shah, who is the ‘Sultan’ star’s protégé. The actor allegedly threatened to cancel his performance if the organisers didn’t pull out Daisy from the performance.

During the trailer launch of her film ‘Te3n,’ when Vidya Balan was asked about her take on the ongoing Kangana Ranaut - Hrithik Roshan legal battle, she refused to comment. But she did laud Kangana for the way she has handled herself in the entire saga. However, as per a report on BollywoodLife.com, this hasn’t gone down well with Vidya’s husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur. The report mentions that Kapur, under his banner UTV Disney, is producing Hrithik’s next, ‘Kaabil’ and it has caused him a lot of embarrassment. A source is quoted in the report as saying that Vidya’s comment will make things awkward between Kapur and Hrithik.

As expected, Adhyayan Suman’s explosive interview against Kangana Ranaut has turned out to be an unending saga of new allegations, clarifications and counter accusations. It also gave Hrithik Roshan the upper edge in his legal battle with Kangana Ranaut. The interview was followed by another head-turning one to a TV channel by Adhyayan’s parents, Shekhar and Alka Suman. During the course of the interaction, Shekhar alleged that it was the journalist who persuaded Adhyayan to speak. But the most interesting bit from the conversation was Shekhar admitting that Kangana didn’t destroy his son. He said, “She didn’t destroy him. Adhyayan destroyed himself by getting into a wrong relationship.”

At a recent event for his upcoming film 'Housefull 3,' when asked about the big war in Bollywood, Akshay replied, "The war isn’t happening in Bollywood – it’s happening in my building!” (Akshay and Hrithik reside in the same building.) But obviously, his reply made the entire hall crack up. However, when further pressed by a reporter, the Khiladi answered with a rather serious demeanour and said, "I would hope that everything ends in a nice way. That’s what the whole thing is – how long can the war go on? You guys are enjoying it so much. It shouldn’t happen like that. I think the time has come now for it to stop."

With Kangana Ranaut-Hrithik Roshan’s legal war being in the news regularly, it is obvious that the two would be subject to some extreme comments. The ‘Queen’ actress recently received a baggage of negative comments after her ex-boyfriend Adhyayan Suman’s explosive interview and this hasn’t gone down well with the actress’ father Amardeep Ranaut. He feels people are not able to digest Kangana’s success. He said that as a parent, it disturbs him to see her facing such ugly accusations, especially at a time when she should be enjoying her third national award. He also added that it’s a rare honour as only Shabana Azmi has received more National Awards than her.

This could possibly be the most unexpected twist and turn in Kangana Ranaut-Hrithik Roshan legal tussle. While the formal investigation has begun after Kangana recorded her official statement with the cyber cell, it seems her legal battle has rubbed on to her ex-boyfriend Aditya Pancholi's married life too. As per a report on BollywoodLife.com, Aditya's wife, actress Zarina Wahab and their daughter Sana have walked out of the house and have flown down to Hyderabad till the entire brouhaha is solved. It was Kangana's other ex, Adhyayan Suman, who, in his bare-all interview to DNA, said that during the premiere of his debut film, 'Haal-e-Dil,' which both Aditya and Kangana had attended, Aditya had given him subtle hints about the consequences of dating Kangana. Adhyayan had said, “Aditya stopped me, looked into my eyes and said, ‘Welcome to the circus, my friend. All the best!’” Recently, at the special screening of 'Baaghi', when Aditya was asked to comment about Adhyayan's statement, he retaliated saying, "Who is he? Kaun hai woh? Usko leke aa re tu!" This reportedly didn't go down well with Zarina and Sana who felt that Aditya shouldn't have spoken anything on the controversy and should have maintained a dignified silence. "Who asked you to roll down your windows and talk?" is what a distraught Zarina is reported to have asked Aditya. But in situations like these, silence speaks louder than words, Zarina!

As per a report on BollywoodLife.com, Hrithik not only took permission of Arjun but of everybody else who was present at the said party held in 2010. Considering it was a private bash where people present could be seen letting their hair down and having a gala time, Hrithik thought it would be best to take everyone's approval before releasing those pictures in the media.

However, this wasn’t the case as minutes later, he wrote a tweet, which looked like an alleged dig at Kangana. He wrote, “When people call u names, d universe is not testing wether u can prove them wrong. It's testing your own belief in ur own name. #knowUrName.” It must be noted that Hrithik had allegedly taken offence at Kangana’s “silly ex” comment since he believed it was directed at him.

The Kangana Ranaut-Hrithik Roshan drama is turning uglier by the day. After allegations made by Kangana's friend in a tabloid, Hrithik Roshan's friend has now decided to speak up for the actor. In a DNA report, the friend has pointed out the discrepancies in Kangana's friend's version of things. The friend has reasoned that it is easy to ascertain by looking at his passport if Hrithik was in Paris at the time he was supposed to have gotten engaged to her. He further added that the reference to 'Asperger's syndrome' in the legal notice sent to Kangana was also taken out of context, highlighting parts that favoured the actress. The friend has further revealed that the actress was the one to send numerous emails over the duration of the year. The friend has also said that Hrithik was awaiting a clean chit from the cyber crime team, after which he will present his side of the story.

In some legal issues, people not directly involved in a matter get involved. This has happened in the legal tussle between Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut. Recently, there were reports that Hrithik has named the 'Queen' actress in the FIR he lodged about his alleged imposter. Therefore, Kangana was summoned by the cyber cell to record her statement. But since Kangana’s sister Rangoli was also privy to the emails, she too was summoned for the same. Now, according to a report on DailyBhaskar.com, dragging of Rangoli in the matter has apparently made the National Award winning actress very unhappy. It is reported that Kangana did not like her sister, an acid attack victim, being dragged into this murky legal mess by Hrithik and is seeking a legal solution about this issue with her lawyer, Rizwan Siddiquee.

Recent reports surrounding the Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut controversy had been suggesting a possible truce, but with the recent statement issued by Kangana's lawyer, Rizwan Siddiquee, you can be rest assured, a truce is nowhere in the vision. Following the summons issued by the Mumbai Police to Kangana and her sister, Siddiquee has issued a statement saying that the summons is illegal and that “no Police officer can summon” his client. While this itself suggests that Kangana is in no mood to cooperate, what’s more is that Siddiquee has alleged in his statement that Roshan’s imposter case is nothing but a means to divert media attention, now that his (Hrithik’s) claims in his legal notice have been proved wrong. Siddiquee said, “I on behalf of my client proved the extent of blatant lies that his notice contained.” Rizwan then brought out that Hrithik was supposed to respond to Kangana’s notice within seven days, but he did not as “there could not have been any good reply to my notice where his statements were proved to be blatant lies.” Further alleging that Hrithik tried to divert the attention from the main subject, Rizwan said, “he conveniently chose to divert all media attention to a so-called imposter to deviate from the main subject of having criminally threatened my client and having intimidated her, without any provocation or good reason at all.” Well, the controversy seems to be getting monstrously huge and ugly by the day.

Hrithik's proposal to Kangana: After Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut slammed legal notices on each other, the murky details of their tumultuous love life is taking everyone by surprise. However, a close friend of Kangana has now spilled the beans on their relationship. In a Mumbai Mirror report, the source has been quoted as saying that, "It started out as a friendship between two people who were both going through a rough patch, during the shooting of 'Kites' in 2009. His marriage was in trouble and his relationship with his 'Kites' co-star, Mexican model-actress, Barbara Mori, wasn't working out. Kangana was going through troubles of her own and they found solace in each other's company and became good friends. The friendship blossomed into something serious when Hrithik began pursuing her for 'Krrish 3,' his home production. Even though Kangana's career was not exactly shining at the time, she said no to Hrithik. She felt rather uncomfortable with the attention he was showing. Hrithik, however, wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. After being pursued for six months, Kangana said 'yes.' That's when they got into a relationship after he confided in her that he and his wife slept in separate bedrooms. However, Kangana could never talk about the relationship openly as Hrithik had told her categorically that he would never divorce Sussanne." The source further added that, "In December 2013, a call from Hrithik took her by surprise. He told her that he was divorcing Sussanne. Kangana was in Switzerland at the time and Hrithik in the US."She was on top of the world as he also told her he wanted to marry her after the divorce. But doubts cropped up in her mind. She didn't know whether Hrithik was serious or not. She kept saying that maybe he wanted to be with her on the rebound. To put all her doubts to rest, Hrithik popped the question when she was in Paris, the city of love. But From then, the relationship mostly went downhill."

Check out the next slide to check out as to why had Hrithik alleged that Kangana is suffering from the Asperger's syndrome...

The Asperger's syndrome: Hrithik Roshan has also alleged that the 'Queen' actress suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. However, in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, a friend of Kangana has gone on record to rubbish and clarify the whole issue. According to the report, it all started when Kangana was approached for Reema Kagti's 'Mr Challu' where her character would suffer from Asperger's Syndrome and hence, could not lie. The friend further explained, "Hrithik visited her that night and she told him about Reema's script ('Mr Challu'). He responded by pointing out that she also had the same problem and couldn't lie about their relationship. After that he often provoked her by mentioning the syndrome, even bringing it up in the notice, despite knowing that it is not a bipolar, medical condition and only reflects a rare straightforwardness."

The legal notice made several shocking allegations. Click on the next slide to know more...

Hrithik's allegations: Hrithik Roshan has alleged that he has a record of 1,439 mails from Kangana, most of them "senseless, personal and absurd." The notice reads that the actor tried to ignore the emails for the longest time before it got out of hand. Hrithik’s notice further states that Kangana was so obsessed with him that at one point she called his father, Rakesh Roshan. She gave him advice on how to handle his son, who is chasing her via mails and phone calls. However, Rakesh explained that she misunderstood the situation and that his son had no interest in her. The notice also accuses Kangana of having used Hrithik's name to garner publicity. It reads, "Since quite sometime you have been insinuating and trying to create an image within the film industry through print and social media and in public at large that there was some relationship between our client and you.”

Kangana, too, chose to present her side of the story and has not only replied to Hrithik's notice but also made several claims. Read on to find out...

Kangana reacts: Kangana claims that she is not some dim-wit teenager who has been smitten thereby causing her to send one-sided love messages. Her legal notice reads, "She is not some dim-witted teenager who has been smitten and that whatever happened between the two of them was with full consent of both parties." She went ahead to claim that Hrithik had hacked into her email account to delete mails that could have complicated his divorce proceedings. As for the allegation that she is suffering from the Asperger's syndrome, Kangana has accused Hrithik of having his own mental issues. Kangana believes that there is no need to call any press conference as per Hrithik’s unwarranted and uncalled for demand to clear the air. The notice states that she never needed Hrithik’s name to garner publicity and that she has achieved stardom on her own.

This exchange is getting heated by the minute. Check out how it all started by clicking on the next slide...

When things unraveled: It all started over the casting of 'Aashiqui 3.' When Kangana was asked as to why wasn't she a part of the film, she commented, “Yes, many lame rumours are doing rounds, even a dumb ass can tell where these rumours are coming from. I don’t know why exes do silly things to get your attention. For me that chapter is over and I don’t dig graves." To this, Hrithik had tweeted a reply that read, "Ther r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful)women d media hs ben naming.Thanks but no thanks." This apparently didn't go well with both sides and led to them filing legal cases against each other.
