Kangana is not my Girlfriend at all

By Subhash K Jha

Aditya Pancholi breaks down several times while talking about his very special rapport with Kangana.

He controls his shock and anger at her being described as his "girlfriend".

"I've been instigated to talk against Kangana. I've been told she has been using me. But that's complete rubbish. In fact I've forwarded the nasty messages about Kangana to her. Kangana isn't my girlfriend. I never said any such thing. Why would I?

I would never speak like that about someone I care so much for. She means so much to me and my family…At the same time I'd like to clear that I'm not her father and my daughter isn't her sister. I've been in this industry for years. I've had so many flings and affairs.

I'm not a kiss and tell guy. I did have a temper problem. But I'm not a bad guy. I'm not a conniving guy. And I'm not into women at all for the last five years."

So what's the nature of his friendship with Kangana? ""She's a very dear friend of mine. I know Kangana from the time she came to Mumbai. I was the first person she met. I can swear on my mother nothing would make me happier than to see her successful," he breaks down while talking.

"And I haven't done any favours for her. It was her destiny that she met me. When I saw her I was stuck by her honesty and innocence. I knew she could be misled in this industry. Kangana was so nave and pure! Today I'm closer to Kangana's family than her.

I don't speak to her as much as I do to Kangana's father and sister. I speak to Kangana's father at least five times a day. When her sister was attacked I fought for them because I wanted justice done. I didn't want a beautiful girl like Kangana's sister to be ruined.

Whatever influence I had I used it to help her. I didn't do it to be given a bravery award. I've the only the best intentions for Kangana. If her career goes wrong because of me I'd never forgive myself."

He breaks down again. "I repeat, what Kangana and I share is very special. But it isn't a father-daughter relationship. She isn't my girlfriend at all. And I've no control over her life or career. I just worry that she doesn't make any wrong move."

So what happened on that night when Aditya apparently got violent with her on the road? "At 1 am she was traveling alone on an auto-rickshaw. You tell me, is it right for her to do that when she has been getting death threats?

I called her tried to stop and then came on the scene to take her back. There was no physical violence at all. I wouldn't dare get violent with her. You think I've a temper? You should see her when she's mad. I call her Jhansi ki Rani. I'm scared of her. I never touched Kangana or the auto driver. I just asked her to get into the car.

Stubbornly she flung my hand away and went across the road and sat in another auto-rickshaw. The next morning my wife got a call from a paper saying they've visual evidence that I slapped Kangana. How can I do that? She's like a little delicate child. If people think I'm controlling her life then I swear I'll never meet her.

If I can't stop her from going on an auto-rickshaw how can I tell her which movie to do? I'm so hurt on her account. She has worked so hard to get where she is.

I've looked after her like a child. I don't want anyone to point a finger at her because of me. In my whole life I haven't met anyone as sincere and honest as her. I'll disappear from the face of this earth. But I won't harm her."

Aditya is sorry to have hurt his lovely wife Zarina Wahab. "She doesn't like my daughter's name dragged into my controversies. Sanaa is a child. She's now leaving for LA to study acting and then she's pursue her career."

Taking a deep breath Aditya contines, "My biggest weakness is my temper….I want to act. But I can't and won't do crap work. I don't go anywhere to ask for work. I don't want some child to put on a DVD fifty years from now and wonder who this fool Aditya Pancholi was. I was appreciated in whatever movies I did. And I'd like to leave it at that."
