The chapters of
Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut's alleged romance, which he disputes, opened again last month, after the actresses' explosive interviews to several media outlets. However, Hrithik chose to remain silent over the entire controversy for a while. But on Thursday, he stole the thunder by issuing statements describing his side of the story.
The statements deny their romantic relationship and Hrithik claimed that he never met Kangana, his co-star of
Kites and
Krrish 3 privately. Of the mails, which Kangana spoke previously, he said that they were sent to him by her and were only 'one-sided.' Bollywood also took a side on Hrithik Vs Kangana and the recent celebrity to support the actor is his good friend Twinkle Khanna, a former actress.
Twinkle shared Hrithik's statements on Twitter and wrote, "Godspeed my friend."
Hrithik and Twinkle haven't done a film together but are good friends. They are often spotted together at different parties along with Hrithik's ex-wife Sussanne Khan. Earlier, Twinkle also liked a post shared by Sussanne on Instagram that was being seen by the Internet as a response to Kangana Ranaut's explosive comments. Choreographer Farah Khan, without taking sides, said that "you cannot play woman's card everywhere."

Meanwhile, celebs like Dia Mirza and Kunal Kapoor also took Hrithik's side and posted.
Hrithik, replying to a tweet, wrote, "Just wish no one is in this situation. I hope something productive comes out of it."
Meanwhile,
Kangana's sister Rangoli challenged Hrithik's statements and, in a series of tweets, posted a screenshot of an email that Hrithik allegedly sent to Kangana in 2014. In fresh tweets posted on Saturday, she also accused Hrithik of releasing nude pictures of Kangana. She also reposted the photo of Hrithik and Kangana at a party that went viral last year, which he alleged is photoshopped. "Is that not you, who has grabbed Kangana's waist like a creep and smelling her neck, who seems disinterested?" she wrote.
Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut met on the sets of
Kites and later co-starred with each other in
Krrish 3. His last film was
Kaabil while
Simran, headlined by Kangana, released last month.
