Thursday, 4th Sept 2014, 4:32 PM One can recall Shweta Basu Prasad as the cute and cheerful girl from the film 'Makdee' for which she won the National Film Award for Best Child Artist. The young girl has also featured in other Bollywood movies like ‘Iqbal’ and ‘Darna Zaroori Hai’. Shweta also worked in some TV soaps such as 'Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki' and 'Karishma Kaa Karishma'. Shweta finally found success when she moved to the South.
Apparently Shweta was recently arrested for her involvement in a prostitution racket. On Sunday, somebody tipped off the police about the racket and the cops happened to raid a hotel at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad where the actress was caught red handed. Many 'businessmen', were also taken into custody according to a source. No clear statements were given about who these businessmen were and only after police questionings and interrogations more details on this will probably come into sight. Shweta's name has cropped up earlier too in this regard and the actress was said to be caught in a compromising position during a sting operation by a Telugu channel.
According to a source Shweta's statement was: "I have made wrong choices in my career and I was out of money. I had to support my family and some other good causes. All the doors were closed and some people encouraged me to get into prostitution to earn money. I was helpless and with no option left to choose, I got involved in this act. I'm not the only one who faced this problem and there are several other heroines who have gone through this phase." |
