Seems like actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has come under fire after she failed to attend the meeting in regard to Javed Akhtar’s defamation case. The Bandra court in Mumbai has reportedly given last warning before issuing a non-bailable warrant against her.
According to reports, Kangana Ranaut failed to attend the session due to parliamentary commitments. Her advocate Rizwan Siddiquee has reportedly informed the same in Bandra court. But, advocate Jay K Bharadwaj who is representing Javed Akhtar has filed an application requesting a non-bailable warrant against the actress. In the application, it has been cited that the Queen actress was absent from around 40 key court dates. The Magistrate has then directed Siddiquee to respond to the application formally and gave Kangana ‘one last chance’ before going ahead with the warrant.
Kangana Ranaut’s legal tussle with Javed Akhtar began in 2020, when the actress spoke about an alleged meeting with the veteran lyricist from 2026 during a televised interview. Akhtar claimed that Ranaut had tried to defame and damage his “immaculate reputation” when she named him in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Kangana Ranaut in 2021 had filed a counter-complaint for criminal intimidation and insult to modesty against Javed Akhtar before a magistrate’s court. She cited a 2016 meeting with the writer at his residence in Mumbai, where he allegedly tried to intimidate her into apologising to a co-star.
Meanwhile on the work front, Kangana Ranaut was recently seen in Emergency, which released in theatres on January 17, 2025. The film was appreciated by audience for its acting skills. Emergency starred Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade in the role of a young Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Mahima Choudhary as Pupul Jayakar and the late Satish Kaushik in the role of Jagjivan Ram.
