Health Suffers, But Javed Akhtar Won’t Opt For Out Of  Court Settlement With Kangana Ranaut

Javed Akhtar is in no mood  to  back down in his  criminal defamation case against  Kangana Ranaut.

According to sources  close to the poet-thinker-activist the criminal legal suit that  Javed Akhtar filed  against Kangana in   2020 will be “taken to its logical conclusion  and  no shortcuts.”

A  source close  to Javed Akhtar Saab tells me, “There  will be no compromise, no out-of-court-settlement. The  other party is trying all  sorts  of tricks to divert  the judiciary’s attention from Javed Akhtar Saab’s  defamation claims.”

According to this  source Javed Akhtar Saab isn’t ready to relent. “This  court case has  taken a toll on JJaved Akhtar Saab’s health, and he realizes that  it’s going take a very long time to get justice . But  Javed Akhtar Saab  is in this for  the  long haul.”

The source says  the  fight is not for him alone. “For  too long , Kangana Ranaut  has been  making irresponsible statements  about people in the entertainment industry. They  are  too civil or  too  frightened  to  take action. Someone had to bell the cat.”
