His designer-friend Rashmi Aarya had recently said that Pearl is in a state of shock.

Finally, the actor has now broken his silence over the same. In his latest post that he shared on his Instagram account, he revealed how he has been going through a tough time since past few months.

He wrote, "Life has its own way of testing people! I lost my Nani ma a few months back, then on her 17th day, I lost my dad, post that my mother got diagnosed with cancer and then this ghastly accusation. The last couple of weeks were gruelling for me like a nightmare."

Pearl further revealed that he was made to feel like a criminal overnight, which made him helpless. He added, "I was, overnight, made to feel like a criminal. All of this in the midst of my mother's cancer treatment, shattered my sense of security, making me feel helpless."

The Bepanah Pyaar actor thanked his fans for all their love, support and keeping faith in him. Pearl concluded by writing, "I am still numb... but I felt it's time to reach out to my friends, fans and well-wishers who've showered me with their love, support and concern. Thank you for keeping faith in me and I am a firm believer in 'Satyamev Jayate'. I trust in the Law, judiciary of my country and God up there. Please keep your duas coming!"

He captioned the note as, "I feel blessed to have each one of y'all thankyou for being my biggest strength 🙏🏽🤍 #teampvp."
