The actor told Pinkvilla, “I still can’t get out of this trauma and can’t believe that I’m alive. I would have died if I hadn’t fight it. I locked myself in the wardrobe to save myself…. I was home alone. My aunt was also not there. It’s the most traumatic incident of my life.” A police complaint has been filed and an investigation is underway.

Nikita Rawal was recently in the news when she reacted to producer Raj Kundra’s arrest, and also said that Shilpa Shetty’s name was unnecessarily being dragged into the case. She had told Lehren TV, “I know Raj Kundra through common friends. I met him 3-4 times in the past. I am in shock to know the news. But I saw his Whatsapp chats released by Mumbai Police and what the police are saying. If he is running this racket, then it is very sad. He has everything in life. There is no need to do all these things. If he is the culprit, he should get punished.”

She added, “I know her(Shilpa Shetty) personally. Her name is being dragged excessively. I understand that both are husband and wife but they have separate careers. We all know that Shilpa has worked too hard in the film industry and now her image is being tarnished. We should keep her away from all this.”
