Why is TV actor Rozlyn Khan suing Ankita Lokhande
What's the story
Television actor Rozlyn Khan has slapped a defamation lawsuit against fellow actor Ankita Lokhande after the latter made derogatory comments.
The fight broke out after Khan slammed Hina Khan for using her cancer diagnosis for publicity. Lokhande called Khan "cheap" and that led to legal action.
Khan shared proof of the lawsuit on social media platforms, sharing snippets of court documents in the case.
Controversy details
Khan criticized Hina's lack of transparency about cancer treatment
The controversy was sparked when Khan, in an interview, questioned Hina's decision to go scuba diving soon after a 15-hour chemotherapy session.
She also slammed Hina for not being upfront about her cancer treatment details.
Lokhande defended Hina in a lengthy post: "How could someone think so low? That's so cheap! Vikki met her a few days back while she was undergoing chemotherapy...Rocky was by her side. Vikki told me he was in tears seeing her in that condition."
Publicity allegations
'Hina will never show her reports because...'
Khan—a stage four cancer survivor herself—hinted in an interview that Hina was hiding information about her surgery.
She implied Hina could be using her cancer diagnosis as a publicity stunt. "I can challenge you—Hina will never show her reports because, by now, Dr. Mandar (who treated Khan and is now treating Hina) would've come forward...or the hospital would have issued a statement."
"All of the videos have been shot beforehand and will be released gradually—with the launch of every project."
Accusations
Khan accused Lokhande of character assault
"A woman (Lokhande) who could use the death of his ex (Sushant Singh Rajput) for a Bigg Boss is preaching to me about cheapness!! Not a big surprise." Khan wrote on Instagram.
Khan further accused Lokhande of character assault in another post.
She wrote, "Guys, I posted a video a few days ago mentioning how these TV actresses are using their fan pages to reshare my videos, harassing and trolling me."
"And @lokhandeankita has come forward publicly, assaulting my character."
Additional feud
Khan also targeted Rakhi Sawant for interference
Apart from her spat with Lokhande, Khan also targeted actor, dancer, and internet personality Rakhi Sawant for poking her nose into her personal issue.
Through her Instagram Stories, she warned Sawant to "surrender" herself or be arrested on her next visit to India.
The warning was issued as part of an ongoing feud between the two actors, further adding to the controversy surrounding Khan.
