I lost my nani ma few momths back, then on her 17th day I lost my dad post that my mother got diagnosed with cancen and then this ghastly aacusation.

Al of this in the midst of my mother’s cancer treatment, it shattered my sense of security, making me feel helpless. I am still numb…but I felt it’s time to reach out to my friends, fans and well-wishers who’ve showered me with their love, support and concern. Thank you for keeping faith in me and I am a firm believer of #Satyamevjayate. I trust in the law, judiciarry of my country & God up there. Please keep your duas coming (sic).”
