Shilpa Shetty's official statement
"Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity "Never complain, never explain". All I will say is, as it's an on-going investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police & the Indian judiciary. As a family, we are taking recourse to all our available legal remedies. But, till then I humbly request you - especially as a MOTHER - to respect our privacy for my children's sake and request you to refrain from commenting on half-baked information without verifying the veracity of the same," Shilpa had said on social media.
Shilpa Shetty and sister Shamita were mercilessly trolled after the whole controversy. Shilpa had also taken a brief absence from the reality show – Super Dancer. Few celebrities had filled in for her in the couple of weeks she was not available. But, soon, the diva came back on the show and began from where she had left with all the glamour and panache.
