Mumbai: ‘The Family Man’ actor Manoj Bajpayee on Tuesday filed a criminal defamation case against actor Kamaal R Khan in an Indore court under IPC section 500 (punishment for defamation).
KRK had posted a tweet on July 26 and was defamatory in nature, and tarnished the actor’s image among his fans, Bajpayee’s lawyer Paresh S Joshi said. Manoj Bajpayee personally appeared before the court to record his statement, he added.
In a series of tweets, KRK had compared Manoj’s hit show The Family Man to ‘soft porn’ and had also commented on his wife, and about his daughter’s relationship status. In his tweets, KRK had called the actor a ‘ganjedi (stoner)’, among other things.
KRK, seemingly in response to the complaint, tweeted a poll on Wednesday, “Do you think that every Bollywood Wala will file a defamation case on me within next two years?”
Earlier, Salman Khan had sent a similar defamation suit to KRK.
