Kangana Ranaut Must Face Defamation Trial After Court Dismissal
The Punjab and Haryana High Court said actress Kangana Ranaut has to go to trial for a defamation case.
This is because she shared a post online that wrongly identified a woman named Mahinder Kaur.
Kaur filed a complaint, and the court decided Ranaut should face the charges.
The court also noted that Ranaut didn't apologize, and dismissed her attempt to dismiss the case.
Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed Kangana Ranaut's plea.
The plea sought to quash a defamation complaint and summoning order.
The defamation case was filed by Mahinder Kaur in 2021.

Ranaut will now face trial in Bathinda.
