Kangana Ranaut told actor Hrithik Roshan to stop adding fuel to the fire in an Instagram exchange on Aug. 1 [1].
The dispute highlights the ongoing public tension between the two Bollywood stars, whose professional and personal disagreements have frequently played out across social media platforms.
The conflict began after a viral Instagram post appeared claiming, "We owe Hrithik Roshan an apology" [2]. Roshan responded to the post with a cryptic comment, which Ranaut said was an attempt to encourage online trolling against her [1].
Ranaut responded via an Instagram Story, where she directly addressed the actor. She told him to "stop adding fuel to the fire and embarrassing your partner" [1]. In a separate part of the exchange, she said, "You're embarrassing your partner" [2].
Ranaut specifically mentioned Saba Azad in her response, linking the embarrassment to Roshan's partner [1]. The exchange follows a long history of public disputes between the two actors, though the specific nature of the viral post that triggered this latest incident remains a point of contention among followers.
Roshan has not issued a formal statement responding to Ranaut's specific accusations regarding his partner or the trolling allegations [1]. The interaction has since sparked widespread discussion among entertainment followers on the platform.
“Stop adding fuel to the fire and embarrassing your partner.”
This exchange underscores the volatile nature of celebrity disputes in the digital age, where a single comment on a fan-generated post can reignite long-standing personal feuds. By involving Roshan's partner, Ranaut has shifted the narrative from a professional or personal rivalry to a critique of his private conduct, further intensifying the public scrutiny of their relationship.
