A Facebook page titled

Tellychakkar.com reported yesterday about TV actor Shobhit Attray being arrested on charges of dowry harassment from his home in Meerut UP on Sunday (1 June 2014). Two days post his arrest his friends and well wishers from the TV industry have come out in open in his support demanding justice.

A Facebook page titled ‘We Stand By Shobhit Attray’ has been created by his friends. Here’s the link https://www.facebook.com/pages/We-Stand-By-Shobhit-Attray/14531522182635...

Some of them spoke to Tellychakkar.com. Read on…

Jyoti Makker Chaudhary of Betiyaan fame has been a close friend of the actor for a very long time now. Hence, when we reached out to her, she went on to unveil the past of Shobhit and his wife Nisha.

“I and Ajay (her husband) have been very close friends of Shobhit. We also belong to the same city Meerut so we’ve also poured our hearts in front of each other. I know exactly what was going between Shobhit and Nisha for they both usually spoke to me,” confirmed the actress.

What’s the exact story? “Shobhit’s family got him married to Nisha for she belonged to a lower middle class family and they were looking for a girl from a simple background. Nisha’s family did not spend much at their wedding, in fact the entire wedding preparation was done from the groom’s side. They still have the bills of the marriage. It was a big fat wedding in 2012 for Shobhit belongs to a very well to do family therefore the question of him asking for dowry just does not arise.”

Did the couple have issues? “Yes, they did have a lot of issues which Shobhit had spoken to Nisha about. His parents wanted to open a school in Nisha’s name that is why they needed her degree (As reported in the media earlier Nisha is a B.Tech Engineer) but she would never show him the degree. In fact, she also asked him if he doubted her educational qualification. Interestingly, he later found out that she was no B.Tech neither was her date of birth as told to Shobhit was true. In fact, when she was pregnant with his child, she did not tell anyone about it.”

There are reports about Shobhit’s family sending her to her mother’s place during her pregnancy period? “That’s just not true for she informed him about the pregnancy after three months. Post which Shobhit’s family planned a baby shower in the seventh month of the pregnancy but she left the house before the celebration could take place without even informing anyone.”

So why the entire dowry hungama? “I have no clue about any of this but a few months ago when she had filed the case against him she had plans of opening her hair, rubbing her lipstick off and walking into the police station (looking all disheveled) to back her point but her lawyer stopped her then. The incident had really scared Shobhit and they had been staying separately since but then she insisted on getting back though Shobhit did not accept her this time.”

What do you all want as his friends? “We want the law abiding people to give justice to an innocent man.”

We also contacted veteran actor Surendra Pal and he said, “I’ve known Shobhit for a long time now. In fact, he is one of my closest family friends. He comes from a very well to do family to ask for dowry. He comes from a cultured background and all that is happening is just misuse of law. I believe that the charges put on him are completely false for he owns a flat worth two crore in Mumbai too. Someone who has it all would never commit such a disgusting crime.”

Did he discuss his issues with you? “Yes, he did at times and I always told him that they should resolve things amicably and he was trying his best. All this is just an attempt to spoil his career. Had he demanded for dowry we would have boycotted him. We are supporting him because he is clean.”

Sargun Mehta of Balika Vadhu fame too went on to add, “Shobhit is a really sweet man. Something similar to this has happened with someone very close to me and I know how these girls misuse the law. I don’t think that the law should bow down to such fake claims.”

Lastly Ajay Chaudhary added, “He has lots of money to ask for anymore. He is a fun loving, educated man. The law is just being misused against him and it’s just not fair.”

A lot of other industry friends of Shobhit are supporting and praying for him. We just hope that truth comes in the forefront.

TV celebs who are supporting Shobhit are Pratyusha Banerjee, Shikha Singh, Kapil Nirmal, Naman Shaw, Himanshu Malhotra, Mohit Malhotra, Mohit Dagga, Vaishnavi Dhanraj, Anirudh Dave, Rashmi Desai, Archana Taide among others.
