Model-actress Sherlyn Chopra has been in the news since the arrest of Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra in the porn films case.
Earlier, Sherlyn had accused the 46-year-old businessman of sexual assault.
Later, she had also filed an FIR against Raj & Shilpa for sexual harassment, cheating, and criminal intimidation.
Recently, Raj & Shilpa filed a defamation case of Rs 50 crores against Sherlyn. The notice was reportedly sent to Sherlyn seeking an apology for the lewd remarks she had made against them on public platforms.
And now, according to an ANI report, Sherlyn has sent them a notice seeking Rs 75 crores for mental harassment in retaliation.
“Raj Kundra & Shilpa Shetty threatened me with underworld & now sent me defamation notice but I’ll not get scared. I request police to record my statement so that cognizance can be taken of my complaint. I’ve sent reply notice asking for Rs 75 crore for mental harassment,” Sherlyn told the news agency.
Chopra has also shared a copy of her ‘reply notice’ on her Twitter account.
Sherlyn Chopra’s lawyer Suhail Shariff reportedly filed a statement, that reads- “Unfortunately, a defamation suit is used as a weapon to stifle the pursuit of justice and free speech. It is used as a tool that can enable the accused to turn the tables and make a culprit out of a victim. A defamation suit falls under the category of what is globally known as SLAPP (strategic law against public participation) suits. A SLAPP suit is intended to censor, intimidate and silence a party from speaking freely and fearlessly by burdening them with the stress and cost of a legal defence until they abandon their criticism or opposition.”
