As per reports, a senior police officer revealed that they were informed about Kate’s decision when they approached her to record a statement on the matter. The actress then told a tabloid that she had not informed her family about the case, and they got disturbed when they saw her name coming up in the news. She added that it was not possible for her to ‘roam around here and there’ to get justice when her mother is not well.

The actress said that people have been mocking the #MeToo movement as not even one of the accused celebrities has been arrested. Kate also stated that when the police approached her to register an FIR, she was not keen to go ahead as she had opened up on whatever she had to say to the people via media. She also said that she was very good friends with Ghai once upon a time, but he had ‘destroyed’ everything. She added that she was ‘fed up’ with her decision to take action against Ghai and so withdrew her case.
