"We have stopped seeing one another for a while now. Some time back she called me to say she wanted money, about Rs 1 crore, to buy a house. (This, after she had complained against me to the police.) I called up a banker-friend and stood as her guarantor and got her a loan of Rs 50 lakh. Then, I gave her Rs 55 lakh cash from my pocket. Of this, she has returned Rs 25 lakh. She still owes me Rs 30 lakh. I've also spent Rs 10 lakh on her sister's plastic surgery, after the acid attack. But I'm not asking for that back. I paid all the bills. When Mukesh Bhatt asked back for her signing amount of Rs 50,000, I paid that for her too. I've written all that off. But I'd like to have the money that I lent her for her house." The bitterness has now made way for a calmer acceptance of the situation. He says, "We were as good as husband and wife. I was actually building a house for both of us on Yari Road. We lived together for three years at a friends' place. I used to show her a lot of movies." • Kangana has already given Rs 50 lakh to Aditya Pancholi – Kangana's spokesperson He continues, "Kangana didn't have a penny when I met her. I saw her the first time on the road. She was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It was June 27, 2004. She was drenched, and sitting on a bike with a guy from the Asha Chandra Acting Institute. I was supervising the construction of a building. It was pouring. Suddenly She came up and said a warm 'hi' to me. When she said she was 'Kangana', I remembered a mutual friend had asked me to help her when she reached Mumbai. After that Kangana started calling me up persistently until I agreed to meet her. Initially she was a sweet small town girl. I fell in love with her." "I was building a home for the two of us. Even the phone she was using was mine. Then one day she told me about this guy who was troubling her. When I asked for an itemised bill my world crashed on my head. The same guy's number recurred repeatedly in the bill. She spoke to this guy for 5,000 minutes in a month. Why was she calling a guy she claimed was troubling her? I should've been warned. But I was completely taken in by her. Things came to such a head that one of her mooh-bola brothers went to Dubai and got himself a job in a hotel on my recommendation without my knowledge. Yes, she has used me," she says. When Kangana went to South Africa to shoot for Shaka Laka Boom Boom, things got worse, according to Aditya. "After she returned, I read her sent messages to another actor, while she was asleep. Her messages were certainly not innocent. And I remembered that the words she used for this actor were also used by her when she had called me from South Africa. That was the first time I hit her. We fought and made up." Then Kangana's sister had acid thrown on her. "I bent backwards to get the guy nabbed. My wife warned me that I was dealing with an acid-throwing maniac who could harm our family. But, instead of being indebted she called me up one evening and began to abuse me and compared me with the guy who threw acid on her sister. I lost my cool and went to her house. I saw her trying to flee in an autorickshaw. I intercepted her and tried to talk with her but she ran away." Evidently, Aditya's outburst is a result of the rumours of Kangana's involvement with Adhyayan Suman. He says, "Earlier she claimed I was like a father. Now she claims Adhyayan is like her brother. What can we say about Kangana Ranaut? A few days before Adhyayan's premiere she called me up and whispered sweet-nothings about how she wanted to be proud of me, etc, etc. At the premiere of his debut film last week she behaved like the bahu in Shekhar Suman's family. I very politely went up to Adhyayan and said, 'Welcome to the circus. I hope you're having a good time.' The minute she saw me she fled. The next morning I sent her an SMS saying I wanted my money back." Now Aditya is back with his wife. "Zarina has been my support and strength. In spite of all the pain that I've caused her she says she wants to be my wife for seven more lives. All Kangana had to do was tell me she was seeing this boy. Why was she cooing into my ears just a few days before she walked the red carpet with Adhyayan's family? I've had innumerable affairs. I've never spoken about any of my women. I never gave so much. And never felt so cheated. I risked my marriage. I gave her five years of my life. I became her manager. All I wanted was for her to come clean. All she needed to do was to tell me about the boy. I'd have truly became like a father figure in her life and seen to it that the boy kept her happy." • I was building a house for both of us on Yari Road – Aditya Pancholi Kangana's version Kangana's phone remained switched off. However, we contacted her spokesperson with Aditya Pancholi's taped version. The spokesperson said, "Kangana has already given Rs 50 lakh to Aditya Pancholi as a goodwill gesture, in appreciation of the time that his family stood by her. The way her career is going today, no bank would refuse her a loan for a couple of crore of rupees. Why would she borrow such large sums of money from anyone?" "As for his jealousy about Kangana's friendship with Adhyayan, it's a fact that Aditya makes a scene whenever he hears a rumour linking her with any of her male colleagues. After physically assaulting her in the middle of the road, he has no right to expect anything from her. She is simply being punished for a mistake she made at the age of 18." |
