a responsible citizen of this country and my only fault is that I am a woman, who reached a breaking point after constantly being abused, threatened and humiliated at work by someone who once was very dear to me,” the actress said in a post on her official Facebook post.
“My only motive is to fight for myself and this fight is not against any family but an individual. If the media found out about my complaint, and it became a big deal what can I do about it? Did I call for a press conference? NO I did not. I actually asked people and the media to respect my privacy,” Zinta said.
Meanwhile, Ness Wadia, the accused in the complaint by Zinta, wrote to Mumbai police, listing the names of nine witnesses he wants quizzed in the case even as investigators are likely to record his statement in the next 48 hours.
In a letter addressed to the investigating officer of the case, Wadia described as “false” the charges levelled against him by Zinta.
