Yesterday, after reports had come in that Hrithik had been summoned to record his statement, Kangana reacted to it on her Twitter handle. She referred to the actor as 'silly ex' in her tweet. She wrote, "Duniya kahan se kahan pahunch gayi magar mera silly ex abhi bhi waheen hai usi modh pe jahan yeh waqt dobara laut ke nahi jane wala ..."The War actor had also gone ahead to deny any relationship with the actress back in 2016 when she had referred to him as 'silly ex.' Hrithik had even sent a legal notice over it to Kangana. The police had intervened and recorded Kangana's statement in the matter as well. It was later in December 2020, that the case was transferred to the CIU (Crime Intelligence Unit) at the request of the actor's lawyer.
