"It's a harassment whoever is doing this, specially this time,4 years back he came and by his choice gave me amount to get an character in the film, and I made the film and gave him the character as well, but this really unacceptable to harass someone like this ,I have never said anything about his career and never demanded any amount it's totally lie, I don't want to say anything about this, I don't want to talk about this anymore," was his whatsapp chat reply which abundantly shows about demeanor. |
