Shahid ends fight with Rangoon co-star Kangana: How it all went down

Shahid Kapoor put an end to his war of words with Kangana Ranaut by saying that he will no longer play "table tennis" and respond to every remark she makes.

Unlike most B-Towners, Kangana Ranaut does not shy away from voicing her dislike of a person - be it a co-star or a contemporary. In fact, her much-publicised fights have been making headlines for years now, the most recent being Kangana's cold war with her Rangoon co-star Shahid Kapoor. Their war of words came to an end only now, when Shahid refused to be a party to it and told DNA, "I would not like to play a table tennis match on this whole episode by answering to each of her comments. I just wish to put an end to this match. Kangana should move ahead with all her co-stars in an amicable manner and work with a team spirit."

But how did things sour between Shahid and Kangana? Reportedly, Kangana was throwing her weight around on the sets of Rangoon, much to annoyance of her co-stars. The three-time National Award winner was said to constantly remind people of her achievement and even interfere in creative decisions. When Kangana called herself the third hero of Rangoon, Shahid told DNA, "There are three protagonists in the film and for me, being a hero or a heroine doesn't make any difference. So, if saying that you being a hero makes you a bigger person, I don't agree with that thought process."

Shahid's response only fuelled rumours that all was not well between them. When Kangana was asked to clarify if there were was indeed some problem, she told Mid-Day that some "mischief-makers" were trying to "malign" her. She added that she had absolutely no issue with her co-star Saif Ali Khan, who she described as a "classic man." However, when it came to Shahid, Kangana did not share the same love. "People need to understand that we don't go to work to make friends," the Queen actor said in an interview, adding that her not being "pally" with Shahid did not mean that something was wrong.

Reports of cold vibes between Shahid and Kangana grew stronger in spite of her insistence otherwise, and at the premiere of xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, the Haider actor clarified, "There are no issues between me and Kangana... I will promote the film whenever, wherever happily with Kangana and Saif (Ali Khan), who is also a very big part of the film."

However, the smoke was not without fire and once the promotions of Rangoon began, Kangana talked about what a "nightmare" it was to share a cottage with Shahid. It did not end there. Kangana, who has several passionate scenes with Shahid in Rangoon, said in an interview that she found it "disgusting" to kiss him. "Shahid's moustache was horrible and it (kissing) would be disgusting. Then he would keep telling me that he has a runny nose which helps it to stick," she said.

Shahid, who had so far maintained a dignified silence, hit back at Kangana for taking things too far. He told DNA, "I have to tell you that Kangana makes up things in her head. She has a vivid imagination. I don't remember telling her all this at all."

Not one to take such accusations lying down, Kangana compared Shahid to her rumoured ex, Hrithik Roshan, with whom she is involved in a bitter legal battle. "That line he (Shahid) must have borrowed from Hrithik. He would have thought that dude I will borrow these claims from Hrithik," she told Pinkvilla.

As the war of words kept escalating, Shahid decided that he had enough of this and decided to put an end to it. It looks like he is quite serious in avoiding more controversy and DNA quotes a source as revealing that he will no longer promote the film with Kangana and has issued a strict diktat to the PR team to arrange their interviews at separate venues.
