She added Mahesh Bhatt was aware of these facts.On monday, reacting to the Bhatts' suit, Lodh said that she was speaking the truth and she would stand by it. She added that she has waged war against powerful people, so Mumbai Police was not co-operating with her ."Today, I appeared in the court at 3pm.

I am telling the truth and I stand by it," Lodh said, while interacting with the media.In her earlier Instagram video, running for one minute and a 48-second video, Lodh had also alleged that Amyra Dastur and Sapna Pabbi are among Bpollywood stars to whom Sumit Sabharwal regularly supplied drugs. .

If you don't play by his rules, he destroys your career and life." Furthermore, she stated if anything happens to her or her family, Mahesh Bhatt, Mukesh Bhatt, Sumit Sabharwal, Sahil Sehgal, and Kumkum Sehgal should be considered responsible for it.She added: "Everyone knows that every person who works for Vishesh Films (Bhatts' Production house) consumes drugs, but no one talks about the Bhatt family."Meanwhile, actor Amyra Dastur's lawyer recently released a statement on her behalf which read: "Our client completely refuses all such statements referring to her vide the said video as being completely false, unfounded and malicious and further reserves her right to seek all remedies available to her in law and equity.
