The fresh spat flared up after a social media trend titled "We Need to Apologise to Hrithik Roshan" began viral traction. The trend emerged following online backlash over Ranaut’s recent controversial comments regarding Gen Z student protests.
What Triggered the Exchange?
The Viral Trend: In the wake of criticism directed at Kangana Ranaut's online statements, social media users started circulating posts suggesting the public "owes an apology" to Hrithik Roshan, referencing their widely publicized 2016 dispute.
Hrithik's Comment: Responding to an influencer’s post about the trend, Hrithik cautioning against knee-jerk online narrative shifts, writing:
"My friend, siding with 'A' just cause you don't like 'B' anymore is a small part of the larger systemic issue plaguing our society. I'll wait, for when the context to it is the right one, and motivated by facts. That would be fair. But then again, who cares anymore right?"
Kangana’s Response & Note to Hrithik
Sharing a news report of Hrithik's comment on her Instagram Stories, Kangana hit back, bringing up his relationship with actor-musician Saba Azad and asking him to refrain from making further remarks:
"Dear Hrithik, I am happy that you have found your perfect match, Saba Azad and you both look great together, you are in a committed relationship and it doesn't suit you to tease a woman like this. Instead, you should condemn all those who are harassing and bullying me using your name. Stop adding fuel to fire and embarrassing your partner. Hope better sense prevails and you stop making unreasonable comments."
Trade Verdict:
The exchange marks the latest flare-up in a feud dating back to 2016, which previously involved legal notices and public statements over claims regarding their past relationship. While Hrithik has not issued a further response, Kangana's Instagram story has reignited intense debate across fan communities and social platforms.
