  • Talking to The Times of India in an interview, Kaul stated that he is the sole copyright owner of the life story of Queen Didda.

    "A book is being usurped by a renowned actor-turned-social activist," he alleged.

  • Quote

    Kaul feels the actor has been 'misguided'

  • "It is illegal and an absolute violation of the IPR and copyright laws of the same country that she swears by. I find it so brazen and hideous and I am still inclined to believe that Kangana has been misguided (sic)," Kaul further said.
