Shatrughan Sinha Defends Firoz Nadiadwala: Consuming drugs is not in his DNA

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha has spoke in support of his dear friend and filmmaker Firoz Nadiadwala, who has found himself in middle of a drug controversy.

Firoz Nadiadwala’s house was raided by the Narcotics Control Bureau on Sunday. The NCB recovered 10 gms of ganja from the residence and Nadiadwala’s wife Shabana Saeed was arrested by the officials.

Reacting to the same, Shatrughan Sinha told SpotboyE: “I know the law will take its course. And I’ve full faith in our legal system. And I completely believe in  making our country drugs-free. But to say that Firoz had drugs in his house and to arrest his sweet good-natured wife for possession of drugs, is simply preposterous. Yeh to kal koi bhi kisi ke bare kuch bhi bol sakta hai (anyone  can say anything about anyone). I cannot believe  this to be true about  Firoz.”

Nadiadwala’s wife Shabana Saeed was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS)act and has been remanded to judicial custody till November 23.

Shatruji says that he has worker with Firoz closely in his films and shares a personal relationship with him. “Firoz comes home regularly with his wife and  we also visit him. Whenever he comes home, he drinks only tea. Yes, Firoz is a teetotaler , and a godfearing religious, kind, generous human being. Consuming drugs is simply not in his DNA. And to arrest his wife for drug possession…I can’t think of anything more outrageous” he shares.

Furthermore, Shatrughan Sinha also asserts that the filmmaker ‘doesn’t consume any intoxicant.’ “I fear he has been framed by his enemies. He has many enemies in the film industry. If that is the case, then Firoz must be given justice. We are rapidly creating a totally unjust intolerant society.”

Firoz Nadiadwala was spotted at the NCB today, on November 9, for questioning.
