What's more disheartening is the fact that this is being done by another woman who’s supposedly in a very responsible position.'

'For the sake of dignity, we choose to remain silent, but it is misconstrued as our weakness. I am absolutely apolitical and have nothing to do with any person/political party, whatsoever. I urge to stop using my name in a malicious way to gain political mileage. Artists and creative personalities should be kept out of political slug fest and their names should not be used to grab headlines by linking them with fictitious stories,' She further concluded.
