Kangana's lawyer: Hrithik is trying hard to save his face

Realising that his image was being quite tarnished by the news of his affair with Kangana having landed in a legal mess, Hrithik Roshan sent out a letter to the media, a few hours ago (Hrithik: There comes a time when the silence needs to be broken to protect one’s name, March 17). Kangana being Kangana, was not going to take even, this lying down.



This is Kangana's advocate Rizwan Siddiquee's rejoinder released to SpotboyE first:

"Mr Hrithik Roshan's statements made to the media are nothing but efforts to gain public sympathy. He cannot wash his hands off the matter now after having criminally threatened my client and having intimidated her, without any provocation. He also cannot deny the fact that my client Ms Kangana Ranaut never named him anywhere and it was he himself who claimed to be "Silly Ex" in his notice. Besides his own acts of stating in the media that he would rather 'date a Pope' gave enough fodder to the media to start speculating. How can he blame my client for all his own acts of commissions and omissions?

Further, he should have refrained from making absolutely false statements in his notice. He specifically claimed that he does not know my client socially at all. If that were the truth, then how was he attending my client's private birthday party with his entire family and my client was attending his party beside his sister's and his father's birthday bashes as well. There is enough proof on public platform, which sufficiently proves that Mr Hrithik is lying.

Pursuant to my counter-notice there are now new claims that my client was not co-operating with the police to help with investigation of Mr Hrithik's complaint. These claims are as false as his other claims. The fact is that my client was never dealing with any impostor and given the background of the matter, it is very lame on Mr Hrithik's part to even suggest that. Besides my client was never ever asked for any co-operation in the said matter by any person for obvious reasons. The fact that Mr Hrithik waited for seven months to lodge a complaint says it all. Now pursuant to receipt of my notice, the complaint is once again being looked into by Mr. Hrithik, only as a face-saving strategy.

It is also worthy to note that Mr Hrithik specifically claims to have received 50 unsolicited emails per day from my client for about  601 days (as calculated from 24th May 2014 up to 16th February 2016). Accordingly, he should have received more than 30,000 (thirty thousand) emails from my client as against his own alleged claim of receiving only 1,439 emails from my client during the said period. This shows that there is no application of mind even while making allegations. At least make efforts to do the calculations. Besides if Mr Hrithik was really receiving unsolicited emails from my client, then why did he not prudently block my client and continue receiving my client's emails for such a long time. The answer is obvious.

His own actions speak a lot and I need not say more on behalf of my client Ms Kangana. Most importantly I would like to point out that at least Mr Hrithik should have bothered to ensure that he has a good reason to send a legal notice to my client. However as expected, the notice is absolutely baseless, unsubstantiated, unwarranted and uncalled for. There is not even a case of defamation made out against my client and he is yet issuing a notice for defamation. It again lacks application of mind.

He needs to immediately realise that my client Ms Kangana does not need his name to garner publicity or attention, as she is a renowned public figure herself.

I sincerely hope that the matter ends here and better sense prevails."
