After Ekta Kumar, Nia Sharma and a host of other celebs, now filmmaker Divya Khosla Kumar has also extended her support to Pearl V Puri. Divya and Pearl had recently teamed up for the music video, ‘Teri Aankhon Me’.

In a long, extended post on Instagram, Divya says that Pearl is being framed by the father of minor who is fighting a custody battle with the girl’s mother and has used Pearl in the case for his gain. The alleged incident took place on the sets of ‘Bepanah Pyar’ when the girl was five years old. 

Divya shared a photo of the couple holding their infant daughter and in the subsequent posts describes how the father had reported the incident back in 2019, however, he has accused Pearl in the case only now. She also talks about how the girl’s mother has confided into Ekta’s Kapoor of the physical abuse she suffered at his hands.

A part of her post read, “Now the police have arrested Pearl … I want to know why the police did not arrest him in 2019 when this case was filed … the reason is that In the FIR filed it was mentioned that the child was molested when she was with the mother. Pearl’s name was nowhere in the FIR. (I’ve read the FIR myself when Pearl’s mother forwarded it to me yesterday when she called me for help).”

She added, “Ekta Sharma in her calls with Ekta Kapoor clearly says that her husband is a psychotic person, who has mentally & physically abused her, she’s got several proofs for the same, she clears the case by saying that Pearl is innocent & nothing like this happened on the sets (sic).” 

“Please note The child is 5 Yrs old … 10days later the father abducted the child after school & filed a case of physical abuse. Still, neither the child nor the father mentioned Pearl’s name … fast forward to 2yrs later today in 2021 when the child is now 7yrs old – She recognises the accused. For a second if we assume that such a thing happened with the poor baby … I want to know at such a tender age will the baby remember the person’s name & recognise him,” she wrote. 

Divya further talks about how its sad that the #MeToo movement is being badly misused and the child is being played mentally by her own father.

“I m supporting him is because I myself have worked with him and I’ve seen it at close quarters on how this young man respects women … there were women on the sets in all departments- costumes, choreography, assistants .. even our director was a woman … did any one ever feel this guy is a pervert…. NO … hez a man with good moral values … May the truth win & may #PearlvPuri not lose his precious years in proving himself (sic),” she further wrote. 

Pearl V Puri was arrested on June 4 was allegedly raping a minor in 2019. A case has been registered under the POCSO Act and he is in 14-days judicial custody.
