Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Munmun Dutta talks about arrest rumours, says police were ‘extremely polite’
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta has responded to the gossipy tidbits about her arrest and has given an explanation. As of late, several reports suggested that Munmun was arrested in a case. Last year, a case was filed against her in Haryana’s Hansi town for making a casteist comment in a YouTube video.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Munmun said, “Contrary to rumours claiming that I was ‘arrested’, I want to clarify that I went in for a regular interrogation with the police officials. I was not arrested. In fact, I had received the interim bail from the court already on Friday before I went in for the interrogation. The officials at Hansi Police Station spoke to me for two and half hours about the case and noted down all important details. They were extremely polite and well behaved. I have been cooperating with the police and will continue to do so.”
She added, “I am deeply upset with the stories that are being spun around the case, just for headlines. At the same time, I would request media professionals to not create false narratives around the case. The clickbait headlines and thumbnails being used by several portals are deeply disturbing and unethical, to say the least.” She also said that at the time of the report, she was ‘on sets, shooting for her show’.
“Once I was made aware of its meaning I immediately took the part down. I have the utmost respect for every single person from every caste, creed or gender and acknowledge their immense contribution to our society or nation. I sincerely would like to apologize to every single person who has been unintentionally hurt by the usage of the word and sincerely regret the same,” she ended.
