They
filed
the
complaint
against
the
actress
and
her
sister
Rangoli
at
the
Andheri
magistrate's
court
here,
the
actor
said.
"Yes,
we
have
filed
a
criminal
defamation
case...we
have
also
kept
the
option
of
filing
a
civil
defamation
suit
open,"
Pancholi
told
PTI.
Kangana
had
alleged
in
the
past
that
she
was
in
an
abusive
relationship
with
Pancholi,
when
she
was
a
newbie
in
Bollywood.
Pancholi
claimed
that
the
actress
had
been
maligning
him
for
years,
but
when
she
named
him
and
spoke
in
a
derogatory
manner
about
him
on
television,
he
decided
to
file
the
complaint.
"Kangana
and
her
sister
Rangoli
dragged
my
wife,
son
and
daughter
(into
the
matter)
which
was
not
good.
I
am
concerned
about
myself
and
my
family,"
he
said.
"I
can't
be
called
a
woman-beater
or
an
abuser
or
(accused
of)
the
image
that
she
has
given
me.
I
am
not
going
to
sit
back
and
take
all
of
this,"
Pancholi
added.
"She
does
not
have
any
proof
about
the
complaint
that
she
is
talking
about
in
TV
interviews.
The
onus
is
on
her
to
prove
things
now,"
the
actor
said.
He
and
Zarina
had,
a
few
days
ago,
issued
a
legal
notice
to
Kangana
and
Rangoli
demanding
an
unconditional
apology,
but
they
did
not
give
a
satisfactory
reply,
Pancholi
added.
The
'Simran' actress
was
in
news
recently
due
to
certain
developments
in
the
ongoing
feud
between
her
and
fellow
Bollywood
star
Hrithik
Roshan.
Kangana
had
alleged
that
she
was
in
a
relationship
with
Hrithik,
but
the
latter
had
denied
any
off-screen
romance
between
the
two
of
them.
Both
have
slapped
legal
notices
against
each
other.
When
contacted,
Kangana's
lawyer
Rizwan
Siddiquee
said,
"My
client,
who
has
been
a
victim
in
the
entire
episode,
has
largely
spoken
about
her
personal
experiences
and
it
has
been
reported
on
various
media
platforms
since
2007.
"Besides,
the
law
of
the
land
does
not
give
any
added
advantage
to
any
male
person
to
silence
any
(victim)
woman
with
the
threat
of
filing
defamation
proceedings
against
her.
