Taking
to
her
Instagram
profile,
she
wrote,
"MY
STAND...
I
HAVE
NOT
COMMENTED
YET
and
will
continue
to
refrain
from
doing
so
on
this
case
as
it
is
subjudice,
so
please
stop
attributing
false
quotes
on
my
behalf.
Reiterating
my
philosophy
of,
as
a
celebrity
'Never
complain,
never
explain'.
All
I
will
say
is,
as
it's
an
ongoing
investigation,
I
have
full
faith
in
the
Mumbai
Police
&
the
Indian
judiciary."
"As
a
family,
we
are
taking
recourse
to
all
our
available
legal
remedies.
But,
till
then
I
humbly
request
you
-
especially
as
a
MOTHER
-
to
respect
our
privacy
for
my
children's
sake
and
request
you
to
refrain
from
commenting
on
half-baked
information
without
verifying
the
veracity
of
the
same," she
had
added
Shilpa
has
also
stepped
back
from
her
reality
dance
show

Dancer

on
which
appeared
as
a
judge
each
week.
She
was
last
seen
