Kangana was speaking on India's Next Superstar
Kangana and Hrithik avoided each other at Umang 2018
Kangana also recited a love poem she says she wrote
It's worth remembering that 'newspapers wrote about the love story,' as Kangana put it, because she brought it up while promoting her 2017 film Simran. Among other explosive comments made last year, Kangana demanded that Hrithik and his father Rakesh Roshan apologise for their part in the feud that became progressively uglier and more public in 2016. The Roshans responded by accusing the actress of stalking and e-mails, allegedly sent by Kangana to Hrithik, were accessed by a news portal from the complaint the Roshans filed.
Kangana later denied having written the e-mails, telling mid-day, "I felt stigmatised. I would wake up to (reports) of hideous mails, which I hadn't written. I don't write such crap."
Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan exchanged public recriminations all of 2016 over an alleged relationship that Hrithik says never happened. Last year, he addressed the controversy directly with a statement he released on social media.
Kangana Ranaut was the second celebrity guest on talent hunt show India's Next Superstar, which is co-judged by Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty. It is being seen as a peace offering on both sides after Kangana labelled Karan as the 'movie mafia' and 'flagbearer of nepotism' on his chat show Koffee With Karan 5 last year, to which he responded later by controversially chanting 'Nepotism Rocks' at the IIFA Awards.
When Karan Johar was asked if he was okay sharing the India's Next Superstar platform with Kangana, the filmmaker has told PTI he would do so "happily, lovingly and respectfully." Kangana also told Mumbai Mirror: "It is a professional commitment for which I'm being paid. What is delightful is that Karan is okay with doing the show with me and seems to be slowly warming up to me."
The same cannot be said about Hrithik and Kangana though. The Krrish 3 co-stars attended Mumbai Police's annual event Umang 2018 over the weekend but according to a mid-day report, they resolutely avoided each other.
Kangana Ranaut's next film is Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi.
