Arjun’s family hits back at Shruthi Hariharan; to file defamation suit

The wife and daughter of actor Arjun have dismissed the allegations of sexual harrassment levelled against him by actress Shruthi Hariharan

and said that they will be filing a defamation suit against the actress.

Talking to reporters, Arjun’s wife Asha Rani and daughter Aishwarya Arjun said,”Arjun is someone who respects women immensely. Shruthi Hariharan has a lot to learn from him. The allegations that she has levelled against Arjun are all false. We know what kind of a person she is. The south Indian film industry knows about her. She must have exposed this when the incident in question happened itself.”

The family members raised several questions in this regard. “If at all she had been sexually harrassed as claimed by her, how is it that she was so friendly with all of us and spoke to us so well at the premiere of the film, Nibunan? She (Shruti) told me , ‘I am a big fan of your father.’ Why did she have to say that?,” actress Aishwarya Arjun asked.

“There is somebody behind Shruti Hariharan. It will be soon out in the open as to who is behind her. #MeToo is not a movement. It is misdirected. We have a lot of information about Shruti Hariharan,” they said.

The family members also claimed that they had got to know that Shruti Hariharan was levelling these allegations for the sake of money. “She is trying

to extract money from us by levelling such allegations. We will not let this to pass. We will file a defamation suit against her. There has not

been an allegation against Arjun so far. These allegations have only made us mentally more stronger,” Asha Rani alleged.
