Give me some personal space: Kangana

Kangna RanautThey have been engaging in a war of tweets, interviews and legal notices. And everyone's wondering what's next in the Kangna Ranaut-Hrithik Roshan saga.

And now, both seem to want to avoid the media glare.

Kangana, who recently has replaced Deepika Padukone as the brand ambassador of Melange Lifestyle, managed to neatly sidestep all questions regarding their alleged relationship at a press conference for the brand.

However when the star, who turns 29 tomorrow, was asked about the brand's tagline, 'You don't need to be pretty but you must be pretty strong,' she was forced to comment.

And here's what Kangana said.

"Sometimes you guys have to allow celebrities to have their personal space. It can be overwhelming. Strong doesn't mean you can just walk through life without being affected or intimidated. Being strong means that standing out against things inspite of all of this. So you guys need to give me some personal space. It is not that I won't talk about it. I will. As of now please grant me that space".

For those who came in late, Hrithik had sent a legal notice to Kangana asking her to publicly apologise since he claimed she had called him a 'silly ex'.

Kangana retaliated with a 21-page reply, charging Hrithik with intimidation and threat.
