Firing a fresh salvo at Hrithik Roshan, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, in recently said she doesn't understand why the actor always needs his father to come for his rescue.

"I want to know, why can't men stand up for themselves. He (Hrithik Roshan) is a 43-year old son, why his father has to come for his rescue always? For how long will they keep hiding behind their influential big names fathers? He is an adult, he can pretty much handle his own controversies in the showbiz. Its just a simple controversy. Why daddies have to always save their sons, I don't understand this," said the 29-year-old actor at the launch of Chetan Bhagat's latest novel, 'One Indian Girl.'

The 'Queen' actress said it in response to Hrithik's father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan's earlier comment, where he said that his son chose to remain calm and dignified when someone was spreading lies about him (referring to Kangana).

He even claimed that if the 'Mohenjo Dato' star chooses to open up, it would shock everyone.

For the unversed, the tiff between Hrithik and the 'Queen' actress started when the latter reffered the former as 'silly ex,' during an interview.

Following which Hrithik shot off a legal notice asking her to retract the statement.

On the professional front, Kangan will next be seen in 'Rangoon' alongside Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor. She will also star shooting for Hansal Mehtra's 'Simran' this month.

On other hand, Hrithik's 'Kaabil' will release early next year.
