Divya Khosla Kumar Comes Out In Support Of Television Actor Pearl V Puri; Says He Is Innocent

Actor Pearl V Puri has been making headlines for allegedly raping and molesting a minor girl on the sets of his show. Many TV personalities, including Karishma Tanna, Anita Hanssandani and Ekta Kapoor, have come out in support of the actor. The latest to join is filmmaker and actor Divya Khosla Kumar saying that the girl’s father, who is fighting a custody battle with the girl’s mother, is using Pearl for his own benefit. Divya posted a photo with the actor and said: “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) 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,”
