Marathi actor Umesh Kamat was falsely being linked with Raj Kundra’s pornography-related case. Umesh clarified the confusion with the name ‘Umesh Kamat’ that came up in the case. Umesh Kamat associated with the case was Raj Kundra’s former PA.
He wrote in the post, “Today, I went through a very outrageous experience of irresponsible journalism. In the search of one Umesh Kamat alleged involvement in the Raj Kundra case, my name was picked up recklessly out of nowhere and associated with the case without any verification of facts.”
“Maybe the media doesn’t realize but this single irresponsible incident has led to mental agony and irreparable damage to my image. My pictures were irresponsibly used by one media agency. Within no time, I and my family were flooded with calls and questions coming from all over the county just because someone was in the haste to get a scoop and wasn’t enough to verify the facts. Huge damage has been done. I shall pursue necessary legal remedies against the respective media agency,” he added.
Umesh concluded, “I have therefore immediately taken to social media to clarify that the person my name ” UMESH KAMAT” alleged to be involved in the Raj Kundra case is, not me. I request you all to take note of the same and not fall for the absolute false and negligent news coverage I am sure I have your support- Umesh Kamat.” He captioned the post as “Irresponsible journalism.”
Umesh Kamat is one of the leading actors in the Marathi entertainment industry. Various celebs commented on the post and supported him. Actress Amruta Subhash wrote, “Ohh my god! We are with you @umesh.kamat ❤️” Amruta Khanvilkar commented, “Absolutely disgusting and sad.”
Businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on Monday in a case related to the production and streaming of pornographic content via an app. Eleven others are arrested for the same case.
