Actress Gehana Vasisth on Wednesday (September 22) was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in a case related to FIR registered against her in a porn films racket also involving Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra.

While addressing the media on Thursday (September 23), Gehana, who appeared before the Property Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch, this morning expressed joy over being granted relief and said, “Don't know what kind of joke this was. Everyone knows it was wrong to file a case as you all saw the FIR. Despite this, they pursued the case. But finally, I am thankful to the supreme court for granting me relief. I now have interim bail and will hopefully even get anticipatory bail."

She further said that she has been framed for talking to the media and also has proof for it. When asked about Raj Kundra, she said, “I don't want to pass any comment on Raj Kundra. I just want to clarify that whatever films we made, were all erotica, bold, but not in the porn genre. There was no activity in the films that could be categorised as porn. Besides all this, on digital platforms, there is still no sensor. If there is no permission required in the first place, then why file a case and resort to blackmailing the woman to play the victim and avoid becoming an accused.” 

Gehana also slammed the investigating agencies for pushing this 'one-sided' case and alleged, "Calling a film porn doesn't make it porn. I have all the proof needed for my case when comes up for hearing. Right now the battel is about them taking me into custody. When my case comes up for hearing, everyone will know the truth about how I was being framed.”

The ‘Gandii Baat’ actress also warned of legal action against those who filed cases against her. ”For those women celebrating that they have filed cases against me, I will fight to the best of my capabilities and will bring the truth out. I will also file defamation cases against these women to teach them a lesson on the repercussions of their wrong doings," she concluded.

A Bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul on Wednesday ordered that Vasisth will not be arrested in the third FIR registered against her. Vasisth has been named in an FIR for forcing the complainant to act in a pornography video. The case was filed after the police received a complaint that Vasisth, who was allegedly the director of porn films, threatened, coerced and lured women with money to act in obscene film videos.

The complainant had claimed that she was coerced to act in obscene videos for Vasisth;s films, which were uploaded on an adult mobile application, allegedly owned by Kundra. Kundra was granted bail this week. Gehana has been booked under Sections 354-C (outraging modesty of a woman), 292 and 293 (sale of obscene material) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Sections 66E, 67, 67A (transmission of sexually explicit material) of the Information Technology Act, and provisions of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
