The real victims die, their stories go unheard, their families are waiting for justice all their lives. Do not belittle them. Do not make a mockery of it. Rape allegations cannot fu**ing be used at will. It Cannot. It should not. @pearlvpuri sorry it happened to you," wrote actor Nia Sharma on Instagram.
"I have worked with him. I know him very well. He is a very nice and humble human being. I stand with him. #istandwithpearl #letthetruthprevail @pearlvpuri," tweeted Surbhi Jyoti as Suyyash Rai said that he has known Puri for years that he is "everything but this what he is being blamed for". He also urged everyone to desist from jumping to conclusions. Bigg Boss 14 contestant, Aly Goni said that Puri was the "sweetest guy in our industry" and Hina Khan wrote on her insta stories that the accused actor was one of the "kindest souls".
