Sooraj Pancholi reacts to CBI FIR on Disha Salian case

Sooraj Pancholi wrote on Instagram, "I have decided to put this out because I feel it is important to put certain facts clearly in the public domain."

The actor continued, "I have never met Late Disha Salian in my life, directly or indirectly. I have also never met Aditya Thackeray in my life! It is honestly very unfair and extremely upsetting to see my name being dragged into something that I have absolutely nothing to do with, especially when there is no evidence or proof connecting me to this matter."

"Regarding this matter, I have already been investigated by the CBI /police and my statement was recorded by the agencies almost 4–5 years ago," he further added.
