Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is always quick to express her views on major issues in the industry. From nepotism to harassment, the Queen star has always stood her ground. After accusing film-maker Vikas Bahl of the latter, Ranaut has now attacked Hrithik Roshan yet again.

In an exclusive interview with an Indian channel, she said, “Whatever is happening with Vikas Bahl is absolutely right. Our industry still has a lot of people who don’t behave well with women. They assault and harass them, and should also be punished. People who keep their wives as trophies and young girls as their mistresses should also be punished.”

She confirmed that she was referring to Hrithik Roshan. “People should not work with him either.”

Roshan and Ranaut’s relationship goes a long way back from endless love to legal battles. Their feud started in January 2016, when she referred to him as her “silly ex”, which did not set too well with him. The Kaabil star claimed that he had never been in a relationship with Ranaut and that she had been hallucinating about the two being romantically involved. In an earlier interview, Ranaut told Pinkvilla, “He and his father claimed they would expose me and shock the world, but they couldn’t prove anything. He slapped a notice saying, ‘She caused great harm to my reputation because she called me a silly ex. I am the silly ex’.” But the Simran star added that Roshan couldn’t prove it so he changed his stance.

“He said, ‘She’s right. She had an affair but that wasn’t me. It was an imposter’,” Ranaut continued. She then sent a legal notice to Roshan and spoke about him again on a talk show. Loathing ferociously at Roshan for denying their relationship, the Gangster actor said, “When Hrithik says I had an affair with a fictitious person, I feel like I am in a space-age film and we are all aliens.”

She also dubbed him as “dumb” and remarked that if he was smart she would have been in jail. Ranaut tarnished Roshan’s reputation further by stating that she uses her own money to fight her legal cases against him, while his father Rakesh Roshan settles his dues.
