The legal mess involving Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut is perhaps Bollywood's dirtiest squabble ever.

First Hrithik sent the legal notice, demanding an apology from Kangana for allegedly calling him "silly ex" in an interview. The notice said, "Since quite sometime you (Kangana) have been insinuating and trying to create an image within the film industry through print and social media and in public at large that there was some relationship between our client (Hrithik) and you."

In her 21-page response on March 1, Kangana said, "She is not some dim-witted teenager who has been smitten and that whatever happened between the two of them was with full consent of both parties."

Kangana's lawyer Rizwan Siddique stated, "Hrithik doing anything like this is the silliest thing he could have ever done. He has made a fool of himself. It's been more than seven days we haven't got any reply from them. We are waiting for them to react to the notice first as we have the facts and law on our side."

The email claim

As per Hrithik's notice, the two met on May 24, 2014 at Karan Johar's birthday bash when Kangana thanked the actor for sending her an email appreciating her work in Queen. "To this, our client told you that he has not seen the movie yet. Our client further clarified to you that the email ID from which you received the mail was not his and he gave you his real email ID," the notice read adding that the actor has already filed a complaint with the Cyber Cell of the city police about the said fake email account in December, 2014.

The notice further said, "On coming to know of Hrithik's real email ID, you (Kangana) sent a barrage of emails to him. Our client tried to ignore all the emails (total 1439) to him even though it amounted to mental harassment and stress. Besides sending emails to our client you have also been telling people in the film industry about your affair with him and then called our client a 'silly ex.' "

Kangana clarified that Hrithik had himself given her the email ID on which they were communicating with each other till May 2014.

The Asperger's claim

Hrithik purported that during the outdoor shooting of Krrish 3 Kangana created a scene in front of him in a drunken state and that her sister Rangoli later asked for forgiveness. The notice said, "Your sister told my client that you are suffering from Asperger's Syndrome and requested him to not tell anyone. Our client kept his word till date."

Kangana refuted Hrithik's claim that she was suffering from Asperger's Syndrome and clarified that she was not suffering from any such mental ailment.
