In an elaborate note on Twitter, Celina Jaitly said, “A few months ago, a self-proclaimed Hindi film critic and journalist from Pakistan named Umair Sandhu took to Twitter to make viral untrue horrific claims about me which included bizarre allegations like my relations with both my mentor Feroz Khan and his son Fardeen [Khan].” Celina said that the journalist made claims targeting “me and my family's safety and security even in Austria.”
Celina Jaitly continued, “My response to his harassment and fake claims from Pakistan went viral and garnered support from millions of Twitterati including Pakistani nationals who were appalled at his behaviour. The perpetrator changes his location on social media consistently but was hiding in Pakistan, as a result thereof legal recourse was not possible for me and he continued to assault my character and modesty from across the border.”
