Television actress Sara Khan was in for a rude shock after her name surfaced in the ongoing drug probe by the NCB
Television actress Sara Khan was in for a rude shock after her name surfaced in the ongoing drug probe by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. It was during the questioning of TV couple Abigail Pande and Sanam Johar by the NCB that a certain section of the media reported that Sara and her former co-actor, Angad Hasija, were likely to be summoned soon. The news started doing the rounds around the time when she had just resumed the shoot for her TV show, Santoshi Maa Sunaye Vrat Kathayein, after recovering from COVID-19. (By: Neha Maheshwri)
Angad informed me about our names doing the rounds in the media
Sara says, “Angad informed me about our names doing the rounds in the media. I was shocked and failed to understand why my name was being dragged into it. I haven’t done anything wrong. I was inundated with calls from the media, but I chose to wait for clarity as advised by my legal team.”
My life can’t be reduced to click-bait journalism
She adds, “I am contemplating legal action against people who carried unverified reports about me. My life can’t be reduced to click-bait journalism.”
The actress says that she is being targeted on social media
The actress says that she is being targeted on social media. She shares, “Without even checking the veracity of these allegations, people started trolling me. They called me names and a drug addict. This incident shook me to an extent that I almost wanted to kill myself! I have slogged to reach where I am today."
I would like people to remember that I am also someone’s daughter
"I would like people to remember that I am also someone’s daughter, sister and expect the same respect and treatment that they would want for the women in their house.”
Sara says that Abigail called and clarified that she didn’t name her during the probe
Sara says that Abigail called and clarified that she didn’t name her during the probe. “Abigail called me a few days ago to tell me that she hadn’t taken anyone's name and had no idea why this was happening. Is it because I party and am a happy-go-lucky person? That doesn’t make me a criminal,” she says.
The actress feels that there are more real issues to be talked about than just targeting actors
She feels that there are more real issues to be talked about than just targeting actors. “Jo log hamein judge kar rahe hain woh pehle apne girebaan mein dekh le. They can’t get away with saying anything to actors, just because we are public figures. I am shocked to know that many people trust unverified reports. If the audience feels that we influence the youth, I want them to be inspired by some of the positive characters we play,” she shares.
Sara has lost out on work, too
Due to the undue scrutiny, Sara has lost out on work, too. She says, “I have been dropped from three social media campaigns following these rumours. Who will compensate me for it? I hope people stop judging others by blindly following rumours.”
