Pearl V Puri Case: Divya Khosla Kumar supports the Naagin star, slams the minor’s father for spreading false allegations

Actor Pearl V Puri was arrested on Friday, June 4, by the Waliv police, for an alleged rape and molestation case. Ever since the news got out, almost the entire TV fraternity spoke about Puri’s innocence virtually. After Ekta Kapoor Now, actress, director Divya Khosla Kumar, who collaborated with him for the song Teri Aankhon Mein, has extended support to him. She revealed details of the case and hoped that the truth will win.

Divya Khosla Kumar wrote a long note on Instagram claiming that Pearl V Puri has been falsely accused in the rape case. Sharing a picture of the parents of the victim, she slammed the father for ‘mentally playing’ with his own daughter and using her for ‘personal gains’. She further shamed him for ‘finishing off Pearl’s life and career’. “Shocking & Shameful (sic),” Divya captioned the post.

Divya wrote in her long post, “Let me introduce them to you … this man is Anil Donde & this woman is an actress, Ekta Sharma. Anil Donde is the man who has put the charge on Pearl V Puri that he molested his 5-year-old daughter on the sets of the serial, Bepanah Pyaar produced by Balaji Telefilms 2 years ago. Anil & Ekta have been undergoing a custody battle for their daughter … & since the last 2 years the daughter has been with Anil coz he has put a charge on Ekta claiming that since she is an actress & she took the daughter on her sets where the lead actor molested her, the daughter is unsafe with her own mother… I feel Anil Donde should be given the Filmfare best screenplay award for this plot”.

She further wrote, “Now the police have arrested Pearl … I want to know why the police did not arrest him in 2019 when this case was filed … the reason is that In the FIR filed it was mentioned that the child was molested when she was with the mother. Pearl’s name was nowhere in the FIR. (I’ve read the FIR myself when Pearl’s mother forwarded it to me yesterday when she called me for help) Ekta Sharma in her calls with Ekta Kapoor clearly says that her husband is a psychotic person, who has mentally & physically abused her, she’s got several proofs for the same, she clears the case by saying that Pearl is innocent & nothing like this happened on the sets (sic).” Divya then added, “The child’s maid who went with her on the set has also said the same to the police. The child was happy & playing … Ekta also took her to some friends house post the shoot there too she was happy. Please note The child is 5 Yrs old … 10days later the father abducted the child after school & filed a case of physical abuse. Still, neither the child nor the father mentioned Pearl’s name … fast forward to 2yrs later today in 2021 when the child is now 7yrs old – She recognises the accused. For a second if we assume that such a thing happened with the poor baby … I want to know at such a tender age will the baby remember the person’s name & recognise him. It’s sad for this little girl for the kind of parents she’s been blessed with I only want to send love her way. Ekta Sharma in her phone call with Ekta Kapoor further says that the child has been tutored by the father. What is extremely disturbing is that a movement like Me Too is so badly being misused … the poor child who is being mentally played with by her own father. It is a sad state of affairs for Pearl who had a bright future ahead of him. Even before starting his career properly, his reputation has got a big blow. will anyone in the industry give him work (sic)?”

Divya concluded, “Shameful!!!!! #ShameonAnil Donde for using his own child for his gains & finishing off another person’s life & career. #ShameonEktaSharma for not coming in the media & speaking the truth … do u think there exists no Karma. Shame on the so-called media handles who only run for their own sake & laugh at other people miseries. Shame on Humanity !!!!!! I request all to come forward & support Pearl with the hashtag #istandwithpearl & not let this case die down till the father or the mother themselves don’t come in media & tell the truth … how can we let a Man’s life & future get spoiled like this ???? The reason why so many of @Pearlvpuri co-stars and actresses are supporting him …. Im supporting him is because I myself have worked with him and I’ve seen it at close quarters on how this young man respects women … there were women on the sets in all departments- costumes, choreography, assistants .. even our director was a woman … did any one ever feel this guy is a pervert…. NO … hez a man with good moral values … May the truth win & may #PearlvPuri not lose his precious years in proving himself (sic).”

Until now celebrities like Ekta Kapoor, Anita Hassanandani, Nia Sharma, Krystle D’souza, Hina Khan, Shaheer Sheikh, Arjun Bijlani, Karanvir Bohra, Aly Goni and others have come out in support of him on social media. Pearl V Puri made his acting debut in 2013 with Dil Ki Nazar Se Khoobsurat and shot to fame with Phir Bhi Na Maane…Badtameez Dil. He has featured on shows like Naagin 3, Naagarjuna Ek Yoddha and Bepanah Pyaar.
