While reports suggest that Javed Akhtar and Kangana Ranaut have mutually settled their defamation case, Shabana Azmi has refuted all these claims. In a recent interview, Shabana Azmi opened up about the case and clarified that, contrary to the mutual settlement reports, Javed Akhtar has won the case.

In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Shabana Azmi shared, “They had asked for no monetary compensation but for her apology in writing. The victory is his and his lawyer Jay Bhardwaj’s." She added, “But I’m mystified why the press made it seem as though it was a mutual settlement but did not mention that it was the apology in writing which he was seeking and why he had fought the case for four and a half years."
