Recently, in a chat with Aaj Tak, Javed Akhtar spoke about the end of his five-year legal battle with Kangana Ranaut and said, "Yes, the cases have been settled. She has taken back her words and the allegations. She has committed that she would never repeat them again. She has apologised for all the inconvenience caused to me. She also withdrew her case.
