Background
Actors were dating when Hrithik's marriage was in trouble
The Hrithik-Kangana controversy is considered one of the dirtiest fights ever over a soured Bollywood love affair. The actors allegedly started dating while working for Krrish 3, when Hrithik was married to Suzzane. Kangana put an end to their relationship after learning he didn't want to divorce his wife. However, following his divorce, they reportedly got back together and dated until 2014-end.
Legal notices
Kangana warns Hrithik to take back notice or face criminal-case
After their alleged relationship ended, Kangana mentioned Hrithik as a "silly ex" in Jan'16, which led a controversy. Following her statement, Hrithik slammed Kangana and retaliated with a tweet denying having any affair with her. He had also sent her a legal notice and asked her to call a press conference and apologize. Kangana then refused to apologize and sent him a counter-notice.
E-mails
The curious case of 1439 mails
Hrithik claimed that on 24 May 2014, Kangana had approached Hrithik at Karan Johar's party and had thanked him for sending her an email appreciating her work in Queen. Hrithik brought to Kangana's notice that he hadn't seen the movie and some imposter had emailed her. Further, Hrithik revealed that on giving her his real id, she sent him a barrage of 1439 emails.
Information
Hrithik said an impersonator was communicating with Kangana
Hrithik claimed someone was impersonating him through a fake email-id and had contacted Kangana. However, Kangana said that the email-id was provided by Hrithik himself. He also claimed that Kangana was suffering from Asperger's Syndrome, following which the actress denied his claims.
The Case
Legal battle ends after about a year
The legal counsels of both actors had also stated that there was a necessity for a "closure to the matter" involving Hrithik and Kangana which had turned "ugly". Many celebs also spoke in Kangana's support in the matter. However, in Nov'16, the legal battle ended as the Mumbai Police cybercrime cell closed the case submitting, a "nil report" owing to lack of leads.
