Esha Gupta Approaches Smriti Irani After Receiving NCW's Notice In Sexual Assault Case
Along with Mahesh Bhatt, Esha Gupta's name also emerged as one of the celebrities who received notice from the National Commission For Women (NCW), in a blackmailing and sexual harassment case.
Along
with
Mahesh
Bhatt,
Esha
Gupta's
name
also
emerged
as
one
of
the
celebrities
who
received
notice
from
the
National
Commission
For
Women
(NCW),
in
a
blackmailing
and
sexual
harassment
case.
While
Mahesh
Bhatt's
legal
team
revealed
that
the
filmmaker
didn't
receive
a
notice,
actress
Esha
Gupta
reached
out
to
Union
Minister
Smriti
Irani
for
help
in
the
case.
Esha
tweeted,
"Dear
@smritiirani
ma'am,
can
you
please
help
me
with
this
issue.
Why
is
this
the
first
time
m
hearing
about
it
through
the
tweets.
If
we
do
a
paid
promotion,
it's
our
work.
Also
the
fact
that
I
have
yet
received
no
notice."
In
a
now-deleted
tweet,
Esha
had
also
added,
"Respected
@smritiirani
ma'am,
please
help
me
with
this
situation.
Just
by
tweeting
and
giving
out
in
news
a
case
cannot
be
made
on
false
pretext.
I
don't
know
the
truth
behind
#NCW
case,
but
to
accuse
me
of
something
like
is
defamatory."
