A couple of days back, numerous media reports stated that veteran actress Veena Kapoor has been allegedly murdered by her son over a property dispute. However, quashing all the reports and speculations, Veena Kapoor has issued a statement and shared that she is fine and alive. Not only this, but the veteran actress has also filed an FIR at a Mumbai police station against those who spread the rumours.
In a video, shared by ANI, Veena addressed the rumours and told the reporters, “This is false news. The truth is there was a Veena Kapoor she has been murdered. But I am not that Veena Kapoor and I’m a different person. The name is the same but I stay here in Goregaon, not Juhu. I also stay with my son so that’s why people thought that this is the Veena Kapoor.”
She further asserted, “I want to tell them that I’m alive, well, and not dead. Don’t believe in fake news.” Meanwhile, Veena’s son said, “I was numb and blank. We have filed an FIR (shows the document). The police have supported us really well. I appreciate it from my heart. The way they have helped us when we came to file the complaint, salute to Mumbai Police.”
Concluding her statement, the actress said, “If we don’t complain now then the same thing will be repeated later with others also. The mental torture that’s happening with repeated calls, day and night, even while shooting ruins the mood. I’m also unable to focus on work.”
Simultaneously, as per a report by PTI, a non-cognisable case for defamation was registered on the complaint of the actor who said her photograph was used in a news report in place of that of a senior citizen who was murdered allegedly by her son in Mumbai’s Juhu area.
