Shweta Basu Prasad is not a prostitute, but a poet!

National award winning actress Shweta Basu Prasad, who was caught by the Hyderabad Police in an alleged prostitution racket, has been released from a remand home recently. Back in her Mumbai home with her parents after a period of two months the 23-year-old actress vehemently denied that she was ever involved in prostitution to earn money in her life.
In fact, narrating her life in the remand home in Hyderabad, Shweta told Mumbai Mirror that she wrote a poem.
Here we bring you her poem…
It's called The Cliff, and this is how it runs: Later she calls to say the poem should be used carefully in the article. “It should not seem as if I was suicidal or something. I chose to fly and rise above it all, you know.“
“Thunderstruck, all alone, I stand here at the edge of the cliff. I crawled the dense forest to get here The tribes and wild and strays They say `Jump, jump from the cliff.' As I look down, naked, cold and trembling, The ferocious sea I see with its mouth open It's ready to swallow me. The noises are unbearable the place so dark. As I decided to jump in the sea I saw the North Star. I remembered how it shone above my blessed home where singing hugging and laughter awaited me I said, `Wait I want to go home.' The voices murmured, `End the journey.' `Jump! Jump you ugly thing.' I smiled to them and pitied them, They don't know I have wings.
Sandalwood was also rocked by a sex scandal few months ago when several producers and directors were caught on camera demanding sex from aspiring actresses in turn of roles.
