Sanam Shetty, who has acted in more than 20 films in southern languages, rose to fame with her brief stint in the latest season of Bigg Boss Tamil and managed to garner a lot of support from fans. The actress and model, who has been active on social media, took to her pages to share the story of the harassment and abuse she faced from a person and an update on the case.
Briefing her audience on the issue, she said that she has been receiving "violent death threats on Instagram and Twitter." Although she initially turned a blind eye to it, Sanam revealed that the harassment issue escalated and she started getting such death threats to her private number which eventually also reached her family.
Based on her complaint, the Cyber Crime Cell at Adyar arrested 21-year-old Roy John Paul from Nanmangalam in Tiruchy.
Sanam Shetty also clarified that this was not a pornography-based issue but a death threats related one.
Thanking the Chennai Police Department, she noted, "To everyone out there who face similar situation, I will say this. It's not okay to put up with harassment of any sorts. Speak up, get help. Your actions will help others too."
