Anita Raaj lands in trouble for allegedly hosting party amid coronavirus lockdown, actress responds

A complaint has been registered against actress Anita Raaj for allegedly throwing a party amid the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown.

Anita and her husband Sunil Hingorani were reportedly accused by neighbours for hosting a party for their friends, flouting the nationwide lockdown imposed by the government in order to curb the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus.

According to the report, the neighbours said that the 57-year-old actress Anita and her filmmaker husband had invited guests at their Pali Hill residence.

The report quoted a source who revealed that the neighbours were concerned about the threat the party posed due to the visitors in the vicinity, following which the local police were informed.

However, Anita Raaj, in a statement, said that it was a medical emergency and police came on a false complaint.

She even took to Instagram to refute the reports of her throwing a party at her residence during lockdown.

She wrote, "There's a terrible false rumour going on Whatsapp, which has sadly been converted into news- that I have hosted a party at my residence, and was also walking on Pali Hill during the National Lockdown.

Our building is under police quarantine since almost 13 days (impossible to enter or leave) and I haven't stepped out of the building.
