She is asked to be present on the next hearing date.
According to a report in livelaw, on Tuesday, Kangana Ranaut was exempted by a Mumbai court from appearance in the defamation case filed against her as a ‘last chance’. The report mentioned that the Metropolitan Magistrate RR Khan directed Kangana’s lawyer to make sure that she is present in court on the next date of the hearing. The court mentioned that if Ranaut fails to do so, Akhtar could apply for the issuance of a warrant against her, said the report.
Currently, Kangana Ranaut is not in the country. The actress is busy fulfilling her professional commitments in Europe. She is busy shooting for her upcoming film Dhaakad. Ranaut has been constantly sharing pictures and videos from the shoot location.
