Bollywood's dirtiest love story: Kangana can get Hrithik jailed

Rumours that Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut were romantically involved have been long doing the rounds in Bollywood for quite some time, especially after Hrithik’s marriage with childhood sweetheart Sussanne Khan ended.

But neither Kangana nor Hrithik had ever addressed those reports — in separate incidents, the actors had even walked out of press conferences because they wished to avoid questions about the affair.

After Kangana allegedly called Hrithik 'silly ex' the war of words escalated and now it has turned into a messy affair with both the actors sending legal notices to each other.

Several publications in India, including SpotboyE are in possession of the 21-page legal notice which Kangana sent Hrithik in response to his 6-page legal notice.

We are reproducing some of the quotes from the legal notice of the actress' reply through her lawyer:

Publishing of Information which is obscene in electronic form:

Whoever publishes or transmits information which is obscene in electronic form, any material which is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest, shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of a term which may extend up to 5 years and a fine of Rs 1 lakh and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment of a term which may extend up to 10 years and a fine of Rs 2 lakh.

The legal notice also warns Hrithik that he comes under the purview of a couple of other sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as well:

Hrithik can be also charged with:

Defamation and the subsequent Punishment:

Jail term of 2 years with fine or both

Punishment of Criminal Intimidation to impute unchastity to a woman:

Jail term of 7 years with fine or both

Kangana's lawyer Siddiquee writes: My client left Mr Karan Johar's party not because she felt that she was being taken for a ride by an impostor but because she felt cheated and hurt by your client's behaviour (Hrithik's).

In his legal notice, Hrithik had alleged that Kangana suffers from Asperger's syndrome, suggesting she imagines things, claiming she was in touch with an imposter till May 2014 as she had the wrong email ID, that she sent him 1439 emails till date and stalked him online.

Another moot point raised by Kangana's lawyer is that if indeed there was an impostor pretending to be Hrithik, then he should have lodged a criminal complaint forthwith and pursued the matter with the police till the impostor was found and punished - but instead he waited for a good 7 months and then only informally complained to the police.

Siddiquee questions why Hrithik claims that he did an obligation of sorts by not revealing Kangana's name to the Cyber Cell, when it was a person who was impersonating HIM and not Kangana.

A question has also been raised on Hrithik's math. If Hrithik's claim that Kangana sent him 50 emails a day is true, Hrithik should have received 30,000 emails from the date she learnt his true email (24.5.2014) till the date of Hrithik's legal notice (16.2.2016).

The big salvo fired is: How could Hrithik go on receiving Kangana's emails for 2 years "without any good reasons" and "without his consent and participation." Siddiquee adds boldly: Kangana's communication with Hrithik was purely on personal level with reasons best known to Hrithik, and if it was one-sided, wouldn't he have objected to the same and blocked her?

And now for the Asperger's syndrome. The scathing reply further spells out: Kangana says that she has never suffered from any such ailment and is not even aware of its symptoms. Hrithik has hacked into Kangana's account and from her email, sent a mail to himself saying: I am suffering from Asperger's syndrome.

Kangana said she will not give any statement to the press clearing Hrithik's name as demanded by him in his legal notice.

She is not bothered if Hrithik makes her emails public, but he will have to face the legal implications.

Now that all the details are out in the open Hrithik leaves a cryptic message on Twitter, "Stop writing rubbish. Go workout." He also wrote, "Strong winds. Walking tall."

We understand Hrithik, Kangana has a strong case but you have no choice but to keep walking.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
