Hrithik urges friends to stop taking sides in Kangna dispute

Hrithik Roshan has become a lot more vocal in his spat with Kangna Ranaut. After giving one of the most revealing interviews since his spat with Kangna Ranaut, over the weekend, Roshan has now refrained his friends from taking sides in the dispute.

Taking to Facebook, Roshan urged the media to not request him for more media interviews as he no longer wanted to speak on the issue. He also requested his friends to “stop taking sides”.

Roshans full statement on Facebook said:

“I am writing this in response to the several interview requests that I am getting from various media houses. I have given two. Due to the media dynamics of our times there is a justified pressure on me to give more. Print. Digital. Various other languages. Platforms that will give me much much wider reach.

I would apologise to those who have made these well meaning requests and would humbly say that I don’t wish to speak on this issue. I have had to give out my side of truth under some very compelling circumstances. In the interest of civility and human dignity we should not make a spectacle of this issue. Media is an integral part of our civil society and they would know that continued discourse on this issue is gaining toxic dimensions.

I am no one to suggest what media should cover or not but if this under investigation case is factually covered through the developments of police investigation and courts, that would be a breather for a lot of us I am extremely thankful to people who have supported me in this painfully unfortunate episode. But my request to all friends and observers would be to stop taking sides in this issue. This is an unfortunate issue and not a contest of sorts. Before this is dangerously hijacked into a man vs woman, insider vs outsider, privileged vs non privileged issue we must stop. Please don’t support me. Don’t take sides.

I am by no means seeking to close this issue. The only thing I am suggesting is to let the investigations be the only spokesperson in this issue henceforth.”
