For the first time after his arrest, the actor has opened up about the matter

Actor Sai Ballal who plays Bhaiyaji on Colors' show, Udaan, is currently surrounded by legal troubles. A few weeks ago, we had informed you that he was arrest following an FIR filed by one of his co-stars from the show, Helen Fonseca, 58. In her complaint, Helen had stated that Ballal sent her obscene texts of po*nographic nature and even tried to harass her. For the first time since then, the actor has finally spoken out in his defence.

While talking to a popular entertainment portal, Sai termed the allegations as a "disgusting and cheap way to claim fame." The actor denied having done anything at all saying that he's built his name and reputation after 20 years of hard work in the industry and never, once has he played any such dirty games. He further added that the industry is seen in bad light due to such people (Helen).

He also mentioned that his wife, Shama Deshpande, and all his colleagues are well aware of the truth.

The verdict on the case is yet to be out. Until then it is difficult to take sides. Stay tuned for further updates on the case.
