Hrithik popped the question to Kangana in Paris way back in 2014
Kangana could never talk about the relationship openly as Hrithik had said that he would never divorce Sussanne.
The Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut's legal battle is getting murkier day by day as several shocking facts are coming to light. Hrithik had sent Kangana a legal notice after she referred to him as her 'silly ex' in public. Kangana retaliated by filing a 21-page reply, charging Hrithik with intimidation and threat.
According to reports, the two found solace in each other's company when they were going through a rough patch. Hrithik was then reportedly dating his 'Kites' co-star, Mexican model actress Barbara Mori and things were not working out between them. On the other hand, Kangana was going through her own set of troubles.

The friendship blossomed into something serious when Hrithik began pursuing her for 'Krrish 3'. Though Kangana was struggling in her initial stages of her career, she refused to be a part of the film. However, Hrithik persuaded her till she said 'yes'.
Kangana could never talk about the relationship openly as Hrithik had said that he would never divorce Sussanne. Realising that her affair with Hrithik would always remain a secretive one, Kangana decided to end things and took off to Milan for a vacation.

However, Hrithik soon announced his separation from wife Sussanne and made his divorce public. Apparently, Hrithik called Kangana and asked her to marry him within a month of the separation. Kangana had her doubts about Hrithik's proposal but he put it to rest when he popped the question in Paris.
Their relationship went through rough patches all through 2014 as Hrithik had started avoiding Kangana once he started shooting for Bang Bang. Later, Hrithik called her up and said that she had misunderstood his intentions.
But it all changed when Kangana won the National Award for Queen in March 2014. Hrithik begged for her forgiveness and asked her to take him back.
The final blow to their on-again relationship came at Karan Johar's party when Hrithik asked her how could she set up a date with another actor. Kangana, who was dumbfound couldn't understand how he came to know about it. That's when she realised that he had hacked into her email account. She then called up Rakesh Roshan and asked him to look into the matter. Kangana later deleted the account and decided to wash her hands of the affair.
After some time, they were back again. They were so much into each other that Hrithik's close friends started addressing her as 'bhabhi'. But given Hrithik's possessive nature, he had a man posted outside Kangana's apartment to report on her movements.
Reportedly, their relationship was officially over by December 2014 and it was only in March 2016 that their affair became public.
