STRAP: Arnab Goswami’s alleged leaked chat has mention of Kangana, Hrithik

WhatsApp chats between news anchor Arnab Goswami and Ex-BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta have been leaked online. The chats are documented in close to 500 pages. One of the snapshots from the chat, which went viral on Saturday, has mention of Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut.

In this portion of the chat, Arnab has alleged that Kangana Ranaut has erotomania and is sexually possessed with Hrithik Roshan. These chats are from 2017 and are in reference to the times when the two actors were in a feud over their alleged affair, which ended on a bad note.

The chats seem from the time when Arnab Goswami interviewed Hrithik Roshan, where he openly spoke about Kangana’s allegation. The man on the other side (named as PDeeGee in the snapshots) says, “I think Hrithik is dumb and Kangana is schizophrenic.” To which Arnab Goswami replies, “…she has erotomania.”

When the person asks as to what erotomania means, Arnab says, “that she is sexually possessed with him.” Both then discuss how Kangana has been vocal and Hrithik has been silent. At one point the man also says Kangana Ranaut is finished and Arnab Goswami accepts that she has crossed the line.
