Balika Vadhu actress actress Smita Bansal‘s sister-in-law Megha Gupta (married to her brother Saurabh Bansal), has reportedly registered an FIR against the actress and her family for dowry harassment. According to a report in India Today, Megha claims that she was forced to take up a job after she got married and over 50 lakh rupees were taken from her. She also accused Smita of wearing her jewellery at a wedding in Jaipur without her consent.
This is what Smita has to say about the issue…
1. She is shocked…
I got to know from the media only that there is an FIR. Nobody has contacted me for anything. It’s quite a shock for me. All this looks so fabricated that I really don’t know what I want to say. It happens in movies, and it’s happening to me now.
2. She is confused…
My brother (Saurabh)is going through a divorce. Megha (Saurabh’s wife) and he are settled in London, they don’t live in India. The divorce is also happening in London. They have a hearing on Jan 5 in London court, where they will be granted the divorce. I don’t know why we are being pulled in this, because they have been married for six years and for these six years they have been staying in London. I have hardly spent any time with her.
3. She has consulted a lawyer…
If there is an FIR, cops will contact me. I don’t know how it works and what happens after an FIR. I have consulted a lawyer. They will tell me what to do and how to go about it. We don’t know much about legal things.
4. She believes in the judicial system…
If there is an FIR, cops will contact me. I don’t know how it works and what happens after an FIR. I have consulted a lawyer. They will tell me what to do and how to go about it. We don’t know much about legal things.
5. She think it’s a publicity stunt…
She might want publicity. She might want to harass us. She must be thinking, inka beta mujhe chhod raha hai to main bhi unko tang karoongi. I don’t know her enough. I haven’t spent enough time with her.
