| New Delhi, April 28: With the apex court giving her a clean chit today, southern actress Khushboo said she stood by her comments on pre-marital sex and live-in relationships and that celebrities were pinned down for no rhyme or reason.
"When you look around, every celebrity is pinned down for no rhyme or reason and that is quite a harassment," Khushboo told the media in an interview. "I knew what I had spoken...it's not an easy task for a woman to stand alone and say 'I believe in what I have spoken'," she added.
The Supreme Court today dismissed criminal cases against Tamil actress Khushboo for making a controversial statement endorsing pre-marital sex and live-in relationships.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice B.S. Chauhan quashed 22 criminal cases against her saying Khushboo's statement on the issue of pre-marital sex and live-in relationships was her personal view and the Indian constitution entitles her to express it.
Khushboo claims she was misquoted in a Tamil newspaper and that her remarks about pre-marital sex and living together were made as part of a discussion on AIDS and HIV.
"A woman and actor combined together made a statement that made sense...and that was the problem, I think," she said. (IANS) |
