Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut on Friday resolved the over four-year-long defamation case filed against her by veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar through mediation, with the BJP MP apologising for the “inconvenience” caused to the screenwriter. Akhtar had filed a complaint against Ranaut in 2020, alleging that she had defamed and damaged his ‘immaculate reputation’ by dragging his name into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death in an interview with a news channel in July that year. Ranaut’s lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee and Akhtar’s advocate Jay Kumar Bhardwaj said the matter was settled through an hour-long mediation before a special magistrate court in Bandra. In his complaint, Akhtar claimed that Ranaut dragged his name during an interview while referring to a ‘coterie’ existing in Bollywood, following the alleged suicide by actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
