"Apologize and take back every word that was posted against me or be ready to face legal action, which will include criminal/civil proceedings," he said without taking the name of the actress.
"People who know me and my work would be aware of the kind of importance I give to equality of women and their empowerment.I live by my character and die by it. I will not spare anyone who tries to point fingers at it," he said.

"Whatever might be their intentions and whoever might be involved in this diabolic act , I would like to say that it is wrong, immoral and criminal," he said about the social media post against him by the actress.
"I could never imagine in my wildest dreams that a woman whom I don't know, have not seen or never spoken to in person or on the phone can suddenly make these baseless allegations.
Yesterday a social media post maligning me came to my notice. It is vulgar, demeaning and full of lies. It has caused deep grief to my family, to me and many more who value me," he said.
