Kangana Ranaut’s
scandalous statements on a recent show have provided enough fodder for the
industry circles to keep buzzing.
While a few
Bollywood personalities have resorted to taking sly digs at the actress, a
certain lot has gone all out to lambast Kangana.
Now, Apurva
Asrani, who had made headlines over sharing writing credit of the actress’
upcoming release – Simran - has fired fresh salvo at the actress.
Apurva Asrani Has Fired A Fresh Salvo Against Kangana Ranaut
Apurva opened up
on his stance on the controversy and told a website, “I have fought to retain
my credit because it's my story. What Ranaut did, irrespective of her claims,
is what all good artists do. She added value to what I had already written. But
the way she's played this narrative of dismissing my work and questioning my
credibility as a writer is nothing short of character assassination. It has
hurt me and my reputation. All I want to say is that people shouldn't take her
at face value — they should question her. She shouldn't just be treated as a
beacon of feminism. There is a lot of duplicity, lot of lies, lots of false
allegations. I want people to see her for what she is, not what she projects
herself to be."
He also
expressed that he feels sympathetic towards Hansal Mehta. “I can't say how I'm
feeling. It's a mix of hurt, love and understanding. I had thought he'd have my
back when I stood upto her. Wish he had stood upto the bully too. Maybe I will
understand better when I'm in his shoes, I don't know. But we have finally
moved on to newer partnerships and I think that is healthy. I wish him the
best,” Apurva added.
