“I
have
decided
to
move
forward
with
this
legally.
My
legal
team
will
be
looking
after
the
rest
of
the
proceedings
regarding
this
case.
False
allegations
are
easy
to
make
for
anyone
who
lacks
a
conscience.
I
only
hope
one
realises
that
facing
a
false
accusation
of
harassment
is
just
as
painful
as
the
harassment
itself,”
his
statement
read.

“A
lie
always
travels
faster
than
the
truth
but
I
believe
truth
will
prevail.
All
the
legal
proceedings
to
prove
my
innocence
will
continue.
I
have
complete
faith
in
our
judicial
system.
Thank
you
to
those
who
contributed
to
making
this
birthday
the
most
painful
one,”
the
actor
further
added.
