Kangana
Shared
A
Cryptic
Tweet
After
The
Complaint
Was
Filed
Last
month
after
the
news
broke
out,
Kangana
reacted
to
the
case
against
her
with
a
cryptic
tweet.
She
had
shared
a
tweet
by
Shiv
Sena
leader
and
Rajya
Sabha
MP
Sanjay
Raut
talking
about
the
defamation
case.
She
wrote
in
Hindi,
"एक
थी
शेरनी
.....
और
एक
भेड़ियों
का
झुंड
।"
(There
was
a
lioness....and
a
pack
of
wolves)
Kangana
Claimed
Akhtar
Threatened
Her
For
the
unversed,
while
talking
about
her
alleged
relationship
with
Hrithik
Roshan,
Kangana
had
told
Pinkvilla,
"Javed
Akhtar
called
me
to
his
house
and
said
that
Rakesh
Roshan
and
family
are
big
people.
If
you
do
not
apologize
to
them,
then
you
will
not
be
able
to
go
anywhere.
They
will
put
you
in
jail
and
you
will
have
no
choice
but
to
harm
yourself.
You
can
even
think
of
suicide.
He
said
all
these
things
to
me.
Why
did
they
think
that
if
I
do
not
apologize
to
Hrithik
Roshan,
then
I
will
commit
suicide?
He
shouted
at
me.
Angry
too.
I
was
having
a
cucumber
sitting
at
his
house."
