Shweta Basu Prasad s** scandal



Shweta Basu Prasad was mired in a controversy earlier this year when she was caught in an alleged prostitution racket. On her return from a rescue and rehabilitation centre after two months, the child artiste-turned-commercial actress opens up on the sensational soliciting charge in an interview with Mumbai Mirror.

Shweta denies having said to any journalist that she was forced into prostitution. She also denies ever hiring an agent named Balu who was arrested accepting cash allegedly on her behalf. "I had gone to Hyderabad to attend an awards function, the Santosham Awards, and the organisers had paid for my air-fare and hotel stay.

 It was my bad luck that I decided to stay on an extra day to meet my friends which is when the raid happened," said Shweta to Mumbai Mirror."I don't understand how I got into such a big mess. I was not doing drugs, I was not murdering someone... people are so interested (only) because they think here's some sex, some suffering and someone with a name [sic]," she adds.

We take a look at how other celebrities reacted to the news of Shweta's arrest in the scandal, in the past.
