A controversy from almost 10 years ago is back in the headlines after Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut once again became the subject of a heated social media debate.
The renewed discussion began with a viral online trend called “We Need to Apologise to Hrithik.” The trend prompted netizens to revisit the very public fallout between the two actors that first made headlines in 2016. Amid the buzz, Hrithik broke his silence and asked people not to rush to conclusions based only on what is circulating online.
Within hours, Kangana responded with her own statement, accusing Hrithik of reigniting the issue instead of calming it down. She urged him to call out those who she alleged were trolling her in his name.
Hrithik Addresses The Viral Apology Trend
The conversation picked up after author Freddy Birdy posted that “the world owes an apology to Hrithik Roshan.” The post quickly gained traction and was shared widely across platforms.
Responding to it, Hrithik said he does not want to base his stance on fleeting social media opinions.
“My friend, siding with ‘A’ just because you don’t like ‘B’ anymore is a small part of the larger systemic issue plaguing our society,” he wrote.
He added that he would rather wait for the right context and facts before making any detailed statement.
His reply soon went viral, with many users linking it directly to his past clash with Kangana.
Kangana Hits Back, Asks Him To “Stop Adding Fuel To Fire”
Kangana took to her Instagram Stories to share news of Hrithik’s comment and posted a sharp reply.
She began by saying she was glad that Hrithik had found happiness and love with actor-musician Saba Azad. But she also cautioned him against making statements that could bring the old controversy back into focus.
According to Kangana, instead of commenting on the trend, Hrithik should speak up against people who are allegedly targeting her online while using his name.
“Stop adding fuel to fire,” she wrote in her message.
The fresh exchange has once again brought the 2016 dispute between the two actors back into public discussion, with fans and social media users debating both sides.
