War of words has now perhaps turned to legal action.

Even though Bollywood has some success marital stories that epitomize long and happy relationships, what we hear more is about actors and actresses who once used to be lovebirds, locking horns with each other after break-up.
The latest Bollywood ‘war’ is between recently divorced Hrithik Roshan and yet to be married Kangana Ranaut, who were earlier rumored to be in a relationship, which Kangana now calls “silly”.
According to reports, Hrithik has sent a legal notice to Kangana alleging defamation.
Mid-Day quoted a source saying “Hrithik told Kangana that she should call for a press conference and render an apology to him, spelling out that she had not hinted at Hrithik Roshan as her ‘silly ex’. Else he would make all her correspondence to him public.”
Kangana’s reaction to this came in the form of a counter legal notice against the actor, accusing him of trying to intimidate her. Even though Kangana’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee didn’t confirm the news about the legal notice he hasn’t denied such a possibility.
While speaking to India Today Siddique said, “I’m not instructed to comment on this. At this stage, I can say nothing. I can neither confirm nor deny the developments. Let something come from Hrithik, and then I can speak.”
The incidents leading to the faceoff between the two Bollywood stars happened after Kangana hinted at Hrithik being her ‘silly ex’.
“Yes, many lame rumors are doing rounds, even a dumbass can tell where these rumors are coming from. I don’t know why exes do silly things to get your attention. For me, that chapter is over and I don’t dig graves,” Ranaut had responded to a question asked by a website to her about Hrithik replacing her with Sonam Kapoor in Aashiqui 3.
“There are more chances of me having had an affair with the Pope than any of the (I’m sure wonderful) women the media has been naming. Thanks but no thanks (sic),” Hrithik’s tweeted after the website published the report.
