Speaking to media, the actress said, “Any honest citizen of the country would never want their name embroiled in all these controversies. I mean who wants their name splashed across newspapers.

It is said that people will do whatever they do, they are going to do it, but I have full faith in God, and there are good people in the country, good people with integrity who will not let the innocent suffer”.

Her lawyer, N Srinivas Rao, who also addressed the media, said, “She belongs to a respectable family. Her father is 83 years old and a retired Army person. Her mother has retired from the RBI as Assistant Manager. Without giving any respect to senior citizens, Andhra Pradesh police brutally acted against them and asked them for five days in police custody. Senior officials harassed her to get her to compromise on the case in Mumbai. As per her statement, there are some bigwigs involved but since she does not belong to the state, she is unaware of their identity. Police officers are hand in glove with some officials and this is not possible without any political influence .”
