Prabhas Press-release about malicious rumors
Over the past several months there have been many rumours concerning
my health. My family members and close friends have received numerous
phone calls from well wishers wanting to know if my health was OK, if I
was in Coma or seriously injured etc. which has been painful to the say
the least to my family.
There have also been several embarrassing rumours about my alleged
relationship with Ms. Y. S. Sharmila. I would like to categorically
state that I have never met or spoken to Ms. Y. S. Sharmilla and the
rumours in circulation are completely baseless and have not even an iota
of truth in them.
Earlier, I have not responded seriously to rumours concerning my
health, hoping that they would fade away. I felt that ignoring these
rumours was the best way to deal with them. However, I can’t ignore
rumours, which affect another individual and I have now decided to issue
this statement, to strongly condemn them. They are insensitive,
disrespectful and are damaging to the dignity and reputation of a
well-respected individual who is married and a mother as well.
As you all know, I have no political interests. I am only issuing
this statement as I am deeply hurt and I can understand the pain and
trauma that can be caused to an individual by these kinds of baseless
rumours and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to put and end to
them once and for all.
I hope the Police and concerned authorities will take necessary
action against individuals responsible for perpetuating and spreading
these kinds of rumours specific to this case and in general as they have
potential to cause irreparable damage to the reputation of concerned
individuals.
Sincerely,Prabhas
