She is not involved in any porn film racket etc. As the producer and director of her company GV Studios, she has only produced and directed films that are permissible in law and at most can be classified or categorised as Erotica. She is being falsely implicated and trapped or made a victim by vested interests and business competitors who are out to defame her."
