It’s getting bigger by the day! A few days ago, actress-producer Sona hit the headlines after she lodged a complaint at the T. Nagar police station, accusing actor/producer/singer S.P.B. Charan, son of ace playback singer S.P. Balasubramaniyam, of molesting her at a private party.
The item girl-turned producer demanded a public apology from Charan for his ‘indecent’ behaviour and gave him a deadline of 10 days. The actress also provided video evidence to substantiate her claim, sources said.
Now, with the 10-day period coming to an end on Friday night 8.30, Sona has turned to women’s organisations for support.
Speaking exclusively to DC, Sona, laid bare her stand. “I have waited patiently till today. Though our common friends tried to mediate, I stand by what I said earlier. I want Charan to apologize in front of the media for his foul act. Either that or he should give me a written apology, which I will produce before the media.”
The Jhansi Rani Women and Children Activists’ Association has taken up cudgels for Sona. Kalpana, who heads the organisation says, “Sona may be an actress, but that doesn’t mean Charan can verbally abuse her. She is also a woman, she has dignity and we will never tolerate any injustice to a woman."
"We are thoroughly convinced by Sona’s case after she proved her charges. 500 women activists will sit and protest in front of S.P.B. Charan’s house on Monday with black flags till Sona gets justice.”
On approaching the CoP with video evidence, Sona said, “I did meet Tripathy sir with proof of my claims — video, audio and text messages. He told me to hand them over to the police station where I gave my complaint. I am still giving a long rope to Charan and waiting till Monday. If he continues to avoid apologizing, I will produce my evidence, which would put other friends like Venkat Prabhu, Premji and Vaibhav in trouble.”
Sona, who says that she has immense respect for S.P. Balasubramaniyam, is ready to meet him and explain the situation.
