Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has come out in strong support of actress Shilpa Shetty. Shilpa Shetty has faced many untoward comments on social media following the arrest of her husband, Raj Kundra, in the porn apps case which has taken the nation by shock. In lieu of this, Shilpa Shetty had also filed a defamation suit against several media outlets for allegedly publishing defamatory content.
“If you cannot stand up for her, at least leave Shilpa Shetty alone and let the law decide? Allow her some dignity and privacy. It is unfortunate that people in public life ultimately are left to fend for themselves and are proclaimed guilty even before justice is meted out,” Hansal Mehta said in a tweet.
This vilification is a pattern. If the allegations are against a film person there is a rush to invade privacy, to pass sweeping judgement, to character-assassinate, to fill ‘news’ with trashy gossip – all at the cost of individuals and their dignity. This is the cost of silence.

That’s not all – the director also slammed the Hindi film industry for leaving Shilpa Shetty to fend for herself and not voicing their support for her. “This silence is a pattern. In good times everybody parties together. In bad times there is deafening silence. There is isolation. No matter what the ultimate truth the damage is already done,” he wrote in another tweet.
