I mean I certainly could list all those SBS segments that went against everything FK said but most SI fans had already done that. So there was no point in repeating myself. Besides, SI was silent about it so I thought it's best to ignore it. Now that Sanaya has clarified her position, this seals the argument for me and I hope for everyone else too. We might have people saying "how can you prove that SI is speaking the truth?" or "why would you blindly trust SI?" To these people I'd like to say there's no cure to skepticism. If you choose a disposition to incredulity towards SI, none of my explanations will affect your thinking. So I won't even attempt to help you get rid of your doubts not because I cannot prove SI's innocence but because your thinking will never allow you to see beyond what you wish to believe.

Its always lovely to see a post from you!! As usual, brilliant post...I loved everything you said, especially in bold.
Regarding the people who say we blindly trust SI, I'm the last person to worship a celebrity blindly. If it looked like I was aggressively defending Sanaya, its because I was defending the truth. You have to stand up for what you believe in. If I felt Sanaya was in the wrong, trust me, I wouldn't have defended her. For example, when she said she had zero comfort level with Farhan, I wished she didn't say that because even though it was the truth from her end, it sounded wrong because some people are sensitive and being too honest is sometimes seen as being rude.
At least Sanaya has never been apologetic about being outspoken, and I love her for it. Because its better to be honest about your feelings up front the way she is...than to go behind your back to the press later on to badmouth your co-star and attack them personally, the way Farhan did. There is a BIG difference and anyone who doesn't realize that has no sense of objectivity.
