Hrithik Roshan on Bollywood's silence over Kangana spat: 'Truth is on my side'

Hrithik Roshan has often been on the losing end of his very public spat with Kites and Krrish 3 co-star and rumoured former girlfriend Kangana Ranaut. While Hrithik may have been the one to fire the first salvo — he shot off a legal notice to Kangana asking her to retract a statement she made in an interview that referred to “silly exes” (Kangana did not name Hrithik in the piece) — Kangana responded with (pot)shots of her own.

Now, Hrithik seems to have got in what he believes will be the last word. On Firstpost: Stalking and threat — What the legal notices of Kangana Ranaut, Hrithik Roshan allege, by the numbers At an event on 12 July, Tuesday, to promote his his film Mohenjo Daro, Hrithik was asked the usual questions about his fight with Kangana. Hrithik declined to comment, saying that the platform — a film event — was inappropriate to discuss what was, in effect, a personal matter. He said, “It is unethical and unprofessional to say anything on this platform. Be more patient.” He added that he would speak about the issue at the right time, saying, “patience is the mother of all virtues”. Hrithik was also quizzed on whether the lack of public support from his Bollywood friends and colleagues had affected him. Vidya Balan was among those who spoke out on Kangana’s behalf, but apart from his immediate family (and former wife Sussanne Khan) no other major actor expressed support for Hrithik. Most people in the film industry chose to take a diplomatic stand on the fight between the Bang Bang star and Kangana. Also on Firstpost: Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut spat gets uglier: A dateline of the ‘relationship’ Hrithik, however, said that he wasn’t looking for support from anyone. “When you have the truth on your side, you don’t need support,” the actor added. While Hrithik has, for the most part, been quieter than Kangana about his side of the spat, he has been more vocal of late — although his comments have mostly been of the cryptic sort. He recently told reporters at the IIFA event in Madrid, of the fight with Kangana: “Nothing is behind me. It’s in front of me and soon it will be in front of you.” Brave words Hrithik, but will they be borne out by events? Watch this space for more.
