Tellybuzz spoke to Sheena Bajaj, Raja Bajaj's daughter and here's what she had to say about the whole incident.

Says Sheena, "It's a false allegation, absolutely false. Sonal is just blackmailing my father for money. She was someone who at that time had just entered the industry to pursue her career and earn money. If my Dad has done something wrong, then she should have gone to the police and complained about that first, rather than calling my mother and narrating the entire incident to her. She first demanded 5 Lakhs and then reduced the amount."

She continued, "My point is that if something wrong happened to you, why will you demand money. Then she asked for 3 Lakh and then claimed 1.5 Lakh. And when Dad refused to give money and told her to complain, she then went to the police station. Still, she is asking for money and telling us that she will withdraw the case if we give her money."

Speaking up on the #MeToo wave, Sheena elaborated, "I agree with this movement. Almost 80% of the cases are right. But what about the rest 20% people who just do this to gain fame? And when the incident happened nobody saw there were lot of people. All of them heard incident no one saw it."
