On Thursday, actor-director Gehana Vasisth appeared before the property cell of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch to record her statement regarding the FIR registered by an adult film actress in the pornography case. As a defense, Gehana Vasisth said she produced ‘bold, erotic content’ and that her actions do not qualify as pornographic. As there are no censorship laws for digital content, they are free to film whatever they want without fear of legal consequences.
There is no censorship on digital platforms yet. According to her, an action taken behind closed doors doesn’t need permission. Gehana Vasisth claimed that she was being framed and that there is no evidence against her in the case pertaining to a complaint by an adult film actress alleging force to create pornographic videos uploaded to Raj Kundra’s HotShots app.
‘I don’t want to comment on Raj Kundra right now but we didn’t make anything that was pornographic in any way. “I’ve been in prison for five months, and I’ve been framed all along’, she said. In her statement, Gehana Vasisth said that she was granted relief by the Supreme Court and intends to cooperate with the police. She also claims that those who have complained against her did so under pressure. ‘Girls were blackmailed to give statements against me and I will expose all of them. I will fight till the end,’ she told the property cell.
