"I am embarrassed, shocked and depressed," said a weeping Sakshi Pradhan, the winner of MTV reality show Splitsvilla 2, as she replied to the allegations made against her by fellow former contestant Swagata G Shah in MiD DAY (Sleep and Win; edition dated July 26).u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0
Terming the allegations "false", Sakshi vouched she was not a "sl't" and said she could "prove it too".
Sour grapes?"It is a case of sour grapes. I don't know why these contestants are trying to malign me. Just because I speak my mind, doesn't mean I sleep around with people," said Sakshi. However, the 21-year-old winner was silent on the contestants who had made the accusations. Reiterating her unflinching faith in god, she said, "truth will come out one day."
'Not me'
Sakshi also added that the girl in the porn MMS tape being circulated (as reported by MiD DAY on July 22) was not her. "I am tired of shouting it is not me in the MMS. You can check my reputation in Noida (where she grew up) and Pune (where she studied) before saying it is me. I am a well-educated girl and am aware how the industry functions. Am I stupid to spread such malicious rumours about my own character? My career is about to take off and I don't need any negative publicity to push it further," said Sakshi.
'MTV professional'
Remaining loyal to MTV, the television channel that made her famous, Sakshi said she had nothing to with Joanna Magee (a top contender of the show, who was alleged to have been backed by the show's bosses in return for sexual favours.) "I don't know her and don't want to say anything about her. As far as I am aware, everyone at MTV was professional and no one had time to mingle with each other."
