Payal Rohatgi, a prominent name in the telly industry got arrested on Sunday night for her comments on Gandhi-Nehru family. She filed for a bail but that too was rejected but now, it’s her luck that she is out of the jail and her tumultuous journey had ended.
Talking about what happened, to a leading entertainment portal, Payal said,”I’m still numb with disbelief. How can this happen? What did I do? I am just so so relieved to be out of that ordeal. I was whisked away by the Rajasthan police from Ahmedabad as soon as they realized I had applied for bail. They first put m in a filthy cell in the police station, then took me to jail where I was locked up with five hardcore criminals. It was a nightmare. We had to sleep on the cold floor. That’s where one sleeps in jail. I wouldn’t have been able to survive one more night in that jail.”
She said,“My husband is a very innocent man. We have no knowledge of how the law works. This is why the Rajasthan police were able to use it (the law) against me. They claim I have not been replying to their notices. I’ve emails proving otherwise.”
Things have not ended yet, there’s still a lot ahead. To this Rohatgi says,“At the moment I am just grateful to be out. All I need is a warm bed. I don’t think the experience will ever leave me. I just hope I don’t have to go through it again. I believe the media has been very supportive. I want to thank everyone out there who supported me. It will take a long time to get over what I’ve gone through.”
