Lyricist Javed Akhtar has been acquitted in a defamation case after the complainant, Advocate Santosh Dubey, withdrew the allegations regarding Akhtar’s comments about the RSS. The Mumbai court closed the matter on November 8, highlighting the complexities of free speech versus accountability in India’s socio-political discourse.
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut testified in a defamation case filed by Javed Akhtar, addressing harassment allegations within the film industry. She also shared her personal experiences and highlighted mistreatment in Bollywood, drawing parallels with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The court scheduled a cross-examination for Ranaut in the upcoming session.
