"Most of the time, almost every time, I choose to stay silent when I see baseless rumors, fabricated lies, and incorrect statements being spread – whether with or without motives (God knows). But it's high time I react as it keeps happening consistently and doesn't seem to cease, especially around the time of my films' releases, announcements, or cherishable moments of my career!" she wrote in the post.
The actor went on to express her frustration with the media reports, stating that any further circulation of such misleading stories would not go unchallenged. "Next time I see any 'reputed' page or media/individual carrying a cooked-up story in the name of news or gossip, you will hear from me legally! Period!" she added.
