Shilpa Shetty's mother defends
daughter
Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Aug 25 (IANS) Shilpa Shetty's mother has said that her
actress daughter was not involved in hiring a gangster to make
extortion calls to a Surat businessman in
2003.
Sunanda Shetty also said that the arrest of Fazl-ur Rehman
earlier this month would not have any negative effect on
Shilpa's career.
"The case is against Mr. and Mrs. Shetty and not against Shilpa.
Therefore, there is no question of trouble for her," said
Sunanda, who had allegedly hired Rehman to make
extortion calls to the owner of Parag Saris in March-April 2003.
"Besides, a chargesheet has been filed and the matter is sub
judice. The court will decide in time and I am sure the truth
about this conspiracy will be out. I have full faith in
the judiciary," she added.
She said it was unethical on the
part of a local tabloid to have published "incorrect"
information regarding the case.
"Right now this news doesn't interest people because there are
more disturbing issues our city and country are facing. Let the
law pronounce the guilty verdict, only then the
press can shout from the rooftop."
Reacting to the report, Shilpa had sent a legal notice to the
paper and asked for an unconditional apology. She has also
threatened to claim damages.
