Actor Urvashi Rautela had slammed a report that claimed producer Boney Kapoor was seen touching her inappropriately at an event. The actor shared a screenshot of the video and commented on the news piece, “Presumably one of the India’s ‘SUPREME’ newspaper and this is ‘NEWS’!!?? Please dont talk about GIRL POWER or WOMEN’S LIBERATION when YOU don’t know how to RESPECT/HONOUR GIRLS.”
She shared a longer statement on Tuesday on Twitter. “I felt appalled and beyond shocked this morning when i saw social media flooded with trolls of me in a video with respected BoneyKapoor Sir. He is a true Gentleman and it makes me feel extremely unhappy and miserable because the social sites/ media don’t even think twice before putting up things or destroying anyone’s reputation. I request all to stop trolling. I honestly respect @BoneyKaloor Sir and stand by him and his dignity. #Nototrolls,” she wrote in her tweet.
