She informed us that it was just a coincidence that she happened to be there when the incident took place. She said, “We were just clicking pictures with a celebrity. I have a one-year-old son, I thought I could get a picture of him with the celebrities. I am a hardcore vegetarian, I am breastfeeding." Talking about the purpose of her visit she said, “My husband was invited by his client for some business discussion when we came to know that some celebrity has come. Then I thought to click a picture. In the viral photo also we can be seen waiting to get our photo clicked." Refusing all allegations against her, Rashi said, “People do not know the facts. Just because we are in the photo, does not mean we were involved. I was there, but not with Orry and his friends. I have no idea what was happening there.”
