Actor-filmmaker Shekhar Suman has hit back at actress Kangana Ranaut for her remarks during an interview with a TV channel after winning an Indian National Award for her dual act in Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
After winning the award for best actress on Tuesday, Ranaut went on TV to talk about being undaunted by attempts to prove her a witch. The statement referred to her ex-boyfriend Adhyayan Suman’s interview where he spoke about her performing strange rituals involving menstrual blood.
Rising to his son’s defence, Shekhar Suman said: “For her interview after winning the National Award she deserves another National Award. She made all sorts of wild insinuations. But we’re not intimidated by her awards or her interviews. My family has gone through enough.”
When asked what the Suman family would do if Ranaut hits back legally, he retorted: “We shall fight her with those very weapons that she uses against us. Lohe ko loha hi kaat ta hai [only iron can cut iron].”
As for her allegation that efforts are being made to destroy her, Shekhar said: “She doesn’t need help for that. What you give to the world comes back to you.”
