Venna Kapoor's statement

While speaking to the news agency, the actress clarified that she is not the Veena Kapoor who was murdered by her son a few days back. She has also lodged a complaint at the Dindoshi police station against those spreading the fake news.

"Yeh khabar toh ekdum galat hai. Sacchai hai ke Veena Kapoor ka murder hua hai. Magar main woh Veena Kapoor nahin hoon, main doosri hoon. Naam same hai. Lekin main Goregaon rehti hoon, main bhi bete ke saath rehti hoon." (It is true that Veena Kapoor has been murdered but I am not her. Our names are the same but I like Goregaon and not Juhu. I live with my son so people thought I am the one who was murdered. I would like to tell everyone that I am alive and well. Please do not fall prey to fake news. I have registered this complaint now so that such things don't happen to people in the coming time. Work is getting affected because my mood is disturbed by constant phone calls.)"

The reports added fuel to fire after popular actress and Veena Kapoor's co-star Nilu Kohli took to Instagram to mourn her demise. She said, "Veenaji you deserved better. I am heartbroken, about posting this for you. Kya bolun? Am at a total loss for words hope you are finally resting in peace after so many years of struggle."

Veena Kapoor has worked in a number of TV shows as well as movies.
