‘Will take legal action if rumours are spread’: Puja Chery

Entertainment Desk //

Ever since Puja Chery flaunted her US Visa on Facebook, rumours have been circulating about her and fellow US resident, Shakib Khan.

According to many, the two have been romantically involved in some capacity. However, the actress has clearly denied these allegations.

Now, she has come forward with a post on her official Facebook account, denying the rumours and threatening legal action.

The actress’ post read:

Since my childhood, I have dreamed of becoming an actress.  Now, I’m going a little further to fulfil that dream of mine. The way people have given me love and embraced me, is something I have always wanted.

However, along with the good, some people are trying to stop me from succeeding. They are doing this by spreading misleading information about me. While I have always focused on my work, without paying any heed to the false information about me, I have recently noticed how these rumours are being created by associating my name with the personal life of another person.

These rumours are being spread by personal Facebook IDs and through various YouTube videos. I have avoided it from the beginning, because I was not associated with any of this. The only relationship I have with this person is that of a professional one between two artistes.

However, I think it is unfair and undesirable that a negative impression is being created about me in the minds of my fans. Personally, I am very upset about this, and it needs to stop.

Some of those who are spreading these rumours are doing this from positions of power. They are spreading false rumours about me without fact-checking my statements. I want to make it clear that, keeping the prevailing laws in my mind, I will be compelled to take strict and legal action if this continues—because I respect the law. I pray for everyone’s blessings, and hope that everyone’s well-being and good sense prevails.
