The Padmaavat episode
In 2017, during the controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone’s role in Padmaavat, Kangana Ranaut differed from other female actors in the industry by not joining the demand for action, as she believed the campaign led by Shabana Azmi was politically motivated.
Tiff with Hrithik Roshan
Prior to that, Kangana had a public fallout with Hrithik Roshan, where she accused him and his family friends Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi of threatening her to remain silent about their alleged affair. She claimed that Shabana’s support for her during this period was selective.
Legal battle with Javed Akhtar
Adding to the friction, Javed Akhtar filed a complaint against Kangana, accusing her of defamation related to Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. In retaliation, Kangana filed a counter-complaint, alleging criminal intimidation against Javed. This legal battle further strained the relationship between Kangana and Shabana.
