Gauahar Khan: Things that made her a newsmaker

After the accused who slapped Gauahar claimed that the actress had paid him to slap her, Gauahar has issued a statement clarifying her side of the story. She reasons, "This is my one and only response to the most ridiculous claim made by an accused who attacked me, went to jail for it and came out only to prove even more what a threat he is to normal living in India for girls, and also the weak stature even the media gives to a girl who especially belongs to the film or TV world. What this man is claiming is a clear attempt to get away from the heinous crime he committed. It’s absolutely bogus and a very poorly staged and filmi story. I have never in my life met this man before I saw him charging at me on India's Raw Star finale. I don't want to give him the 2 secs of fame he desperately wants by clarifying any of his rubbish claims. I trust the law fully and know that I'll get justice for the trauma I have had to go through because of him." She also further stated that the media needed to be careful of what they reported.

The diva has always been a head-turner. Find out how she has evolved as a news-maker over the years.
