I know him! It is NOT true ... canNOT be true.... all lies. I’m sure there is more to it. And the truth will be out soon. Love you @pearlvpuri #ISTANDWITHPEARL.”
When Pinkvilla reached out to Pearl’s friend and actress Karishma Tanna she said, “It's a baseless allegation. It's sheer bad luck that this has happened to him.

It's just the wrong phase.” Actors Karishma Tanna and Pearl V Puri have even worked together in the Ekta Kapoor produced Naagin 3.
