Here’s what Anu Malik wrote in a post on social media: 

It has been over a year that I have been accused of something I haven’t done. I have been silent all this while as I was waiting for truth to surface on its own. But I realize that my silence on matter has been miscontrued as my weakness.  

Ever since false and unverified allegations were levelled against me, it has t only ruined my reputation, but affected me and my family’s mental health, left us traumatised, and tarnished my career. I feel helpless, like I am being cornered and suffocated. 

It's disgraceful that at this , at this st of my life I have to watch most slanderous words and horrifying incidents being associated with my name.  

Why wasn’t this spoken about before? Who do se allegations resurface only when I'm back on Television, which is currently my only source of livelihood?  

Being a far of two daughters, I can’t imagine committing acts that I am accused of, let alone do it.  

Fighting a battle on social media is an endless process, at end of which body wins. If this keeps of continuing, I will have option but to kck on doors of courts to safeguard myself. 

I would like to thank my well-wishers who have been with me and my family through this dark phase, I don’t kw how much more slander and dirt my family and I can take. 

show must go on. But behind this happy face, I'm in pain. I'm in a dark .  

And justice is all I want.”
