Harshad Arora Fires Back
Harshad Arora told ETimes he’s surprised by Preetika Rao’s comments, saying he has no idea why she would make such claims. “It’s so irrelevant because it’s been years, and suddenly you’re writing this? We haven’t spoken since the show ended,” he said. Harshad Arora maintained that they were professional during filming, even if they didn’t hang out outside of work.
Harshad Arora’s Reaction
Harshad Arora said he’s “shocked and disappointed” by Preetika Rao’s “defamatory statement.” He added that while he’s heard claims someone else might be handling her account, he believes nothing goes out without her knowledge. He also advised Preetika Rao to “snap out of it.” “You can’t be ‘Aalia’ (Preetika’s character in ‘Beintehaa’) all the time. Come out of your fantasy world,” Harshad Arora said.
Preetika Rao’s comments came after a user shared a clip from “Beintehaa.” She responded, “You should be ashamed. You’re posting these videos on your page despite my repeated requests not to post my videos with a man who sleeps with every other woman in the industry.”
