By Online Desk

A couple of months after responding to “horrific claims” by a self-proclaimed Hindi film critic and journalist from Pakistan accusing her of “sleeping with Feroz Khan and his son Fardeen”, the actress Celina Jaitly has revealed that she has taken legal action.

She said that the Ministry for External Affairs has raised the issue with the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi and sought “an immediate investigation and action.” Celina took to Twitter to share the news in a long note and also posted a picture of the letter that the MEA sent to the National Commission for Women (NCW).

“@NCWIndia took cognizance of my complaint and wrote a letter addressed to the respected Joint Secretary (PAI Division), Ministry of External Affairs @MEAIndia for initiating necessary action in the matter. The Commission has received a positive response from the MEA communicated via letter. The Ministry views the incident with utmost seriousness and has raised the matter with Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi seeking an immediate investigation and action of the incident,” she tweeted.

Celina further wrote that, “The perpetrator changes his location on social media consistently but was hiding in Pakistan.”

Sharing that she would have fought until the “last breath even if it meant going to Pakistan to teach this person a lesson”, she said, “For me it was not just a fight for the open assault on my character but also an assault on my integrity, my motherhood, my family and above all my Godfather and my beloved mentor Mr Feroz khan who is no longer in this world here to defend himself. He was my mentor, my friend my guide and I am eternally grateful for the love, respect and career he gave me.”

The actress expressed her gratitude to the National Commission of Women, the Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of India. 

“I am so grateful to the National Commission of Women, to the amazing Ms@khushsundar for her understanding and support and wonderful work with women’s issues, Ms Rekha Sharma Chairperson @NCWIndia and above all the Ministry of External Affairs and our GOVERNMENT OF INDIA because they upheld the pride of every Indian woman by initiating this action. I feel proud to be an Indian woman today. Four generations of my family including my father gave their blood to our nation and today when they are no longer in this world I feel glad to be treated as a daughter of my nation where in the Government is my protector and guardian,” she tweeted.

The case

Earlier this year, Pakistani film critic and journalist Umair Sandhu wrote in a tweet, “Celina Jaitley is the only actress in Bollywood who slept with both father ( Feroz Khan ) and son ( Fardeen Khan ) many times.” Celina responded to the tweet and received the support of many.

Late actor-filmmaker Feroz Khan gave Celina her big break alongside his own son, Fardeen, in their home production Janasheen, which was released in 2003.
