By now we all know that where there is Kangana, there is controversy! Kangana has been in the news since the lockdown about various topics and this time it’s related to a defamation case filed against her. Actor Kangana Ranaut on Thursday was granted bail by a court in Mumbai in the defamation case filed by writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar, which was reported by news agency Asian News International.  She has been granted bail upon furnishing a surety of ₹15,000 and a cash surety of ₹20,000, Bar and Bench reported.

It all started when on 1 March, the court ordered a bailable warrant against the actor as she failed to respond to the summons issued by the court. Last month, the Mumbai police submitted a report to the court, saying an offence of defamation was made out against the actor. Bollywood screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar filed the complaint against Ranaut in November last year for allegedly making baseless and false statements against him which, according to him, damaged his reputation.In his complaint, Javed Akhtar claimed that Ranaut had made defamatory comments against him in an interview by dragging his name while referring to a “coterie” existing in Bollywood, following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June last year. Akhtar in his plea claimed the baseless comments made by Ranaut had caused damage to his reputation.

This is not the only case that’s been done on Kangana. The Karnataka High Court on Thursday (25 March) quashed an First Information Report (FIR) against Ranaut for her controversial tweets related to the farmers protesting against the recently enacted farm laws by the Centre. In her tweets, she had equated the protesting farmers with “terrorists.”
