Singer and recently eliminated Bigg Boss 20 contestant
“Since appropriate legal action has been taken, I would like to say nothing about it. But I think the fact that it came at such a convenient time should be an answer in itself. You know what I mean? I was not there to defend myself. So I think the audience is also smart. They’ll understand.”
