Author
Ashish
Kaul
Says
He
Had
Approached
Kangana
To
Write
A
Foreword
For
The
Hindi
Version
Of
His
Book
The
author
told
the
tabloid,
"On
September
11,
2020,
I
had
written
to
her
on
her
official
email
ID,
which
belongs
to
her
sister
Rangoli,
requesting
her
to
pen
a
foreword
for
my
book
'Didda
-
Kashmir
Ki
Yodha
Rani',
which
is
yet
to
release.
Appended
in
the
same
email
was
the
entire
life
story
of
the
warrior
queen," further
adding
that
he
is
yet
to
get
a
reply
from
the
actress
or
his
sister.
Author
Accuses
Kangana
Of
Encroaching
Upon
His
Research
Of
Six
Years
ETimes
quoted
Kaul
as
saying,
"Is
it
believable
by
any
stretch
of
imagination
that
a
story
and
a
book
is
being
usurped
by
a
renowned
actor-turned-social
activist?
She
may
even
turn
around
and
claim
that
Didda
is
a
historical
figure,
which
is
true
except
the
fact
that
no
historian
in
the
world,
apart
from
Kalhan
who
wrote
just
two
pages
on
her,
and
me,
who
has
spent
six
years
on
research
and
documentation,
who
have
information
on
her."
Kaul
Says
Kangana
May
Have
Been
'Misguided' To
Make
A
Film
On
The
Story
Which
Is
Based
On
His
Research
"I
am
deeply
aghast
that
a
person
as
aware,
knowledgeable,
and
apparently
a
nationalist
and
a
voice
for
causes,
has
chosen
to
belittle
her
image
so.
She
has
blatantly
violated
my
sole
rights;
it
is
illegal
and
an
absolute
violation
of
the
IPR
and
copyright
laws
of
the
same
country
that
she
swears
by.
I
find
it
so
brazen
and
hideous
and
I
am
still
inclined
to
believe
that
Kangana
has
been
misguided,"
he
told
the
tabloid.
