Bhubaneswar: Ollywood superstar Babushaan, who along with actress Prakruti Mishra was assaulted by his wife Trupti Satpathy on the streets of Bhubaneswar on Saturday, has released a video statement on the ugly incident.
“You all must be enjoying my viral videos. But I want to tell you that I came to Chennai to participate in Utkal Divas celebrations. Prakutri Mishra was also invited to the event. I also came to Chennai to promote my film with her and also announce a new film with her,” Babushaan said. The video appeared to have been shot in Chennai.
The actor said that he was not aware there was trouble in his family. “If my family has issues, I will not do that film with Prakruti. If necessary, I won’t do any film with her in future or work with any heroine,” he said.
On Saturday, Prakruti also reacted to the incident in a post on her Instagram account.
“Every story has two sides. Unfortunately, we live in a society which blames women before listening to anything,” she wrote in Odia.
“My co-star Babushaan and I were going to Chennai to attend an event being organised by Utkal Association. Suddenly, Babushaan’s wife appeared with some hooligans and assaulted him. I was also assaulted,” she wrote.
“Babushaan’s wife’s behaviour is not acceptable to me,” she wrote.
“I have done no wrong. I have full faith in the law,” she wrote, as she asked her fans to stand by her.
