Reviving her old spat with Hrithik Roshan, actress Kangana Ranaut on Thursday slammed her ex-boyfriend-actor by saying that “people who keep wives as trophies and young girls as mistresses should be boycotted”.
“There are men who make false promises of love and marriage to a girl to get them into a relationship that is also a type of harassment. There are married men who keep their wives as trophies and keep young girls as their mistresses like Hrithik...They lure young beautiful girls with the promise of marriage and later try to prove them mad. Nobody should work with such people. They should be boycotted," Kangana told a news television channel.
Justifying the treatment being meted out to film maker Vikas Bahl, a former member of the now dissolved Phantom Films who has been accused of sexual harassment by a couple of actresses, Kangana said: "There are many people like Vikas Bahl, he is not the only one. We still have a lot of work to do so, we should not start the celebrations as yet. We have a long way to go. We have to make this place (world) absolutely safe for woman".
Kangana’s comments against Hritik came three days after the 44-year-old actor tweeted: "It is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct. I am away and have access to only sporadic information. I have requested the producers of Super 30 to take stock of the apparent facts and take a harsh stand if need be. This is not to be hushed or brushed under the carpet. All proven offenders must be punished and all exploited people must be empowered and given strength to speak up.”
Hritik’s comment came in respect of Bahl, who is the director of Super 30, a biopic on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar and his educational programme Super 30.
Incidentally, Kangana's Queen co-star Nayani Dixit had accused Bahl of sexual misconduct. After a reported affair between the two during the filming of Krrish 3, Kangana and Hrithik have been engaged in a legal war.
