When it comes to raising our voice for the RIGHT, people try to go on the back foot and escape or else they just say something for the sake of being a part of the trend !! I am a Police officer’s daughter and I know how sensitive these cases are, taking names in public, sharing details without consulting the concerned person’s lawyer can really make things worst for someone who is innocent!! If we want to HELP, let’s do it the right way !! Let’s not be the JUDGE here and let the concerned people do their job!! I am sure the truth may prevail !!
I have known Pearl for quite some time now, good enough to strongly say that he can never ever do or even think of doing something like this in his wildest of dreams! He is an amazing person with a beautiful soul and knows how to respect women !!
#istandwithpearl". The comment section is filled with fans thanking Akanksha for her support and also flooding it with #JusticeforPearl.
