Kangana Ranaut and Aditya Pancholi were in a live-in relationship a decade ago, and reportedly after parting ways, the former accused Pancholi of raping her while they were together. Zarina said that the laws for live-in relationships should be stringent. Talking about it, she told Deccan Chronicle, "You can't be in relationship with someone for years and then suddenly accuse him of rape just because the relationship has ended, or because the other person has moved on. It's just not right."

Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel had filed an application with the Versova police station stating that Aditya Pancholi had exploited her sister a decade ago. Post which, Aditya Pancholi filed a counter application stating that Ranaut's lawyer has been threatening to file a rape case against him.
