It is requested that media refrains from publishing false reports about our client.”

Apart from Deepika Padukone, names of other Bollywood stars such as Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, Shraddha Kapoor and others have also made their way to the media. It is being reported that these celebrities will be summoned soon.
