Vaishali Takkar contacted a religious leader, astrologer and politician to rid herself of Rahul Navlani, reveals Priya Soni

BHOPAL: The late Tv actor Vaishali Thakkar who committed suicide last week by hanging herself had tried several options to get rid of the Rahul Navlani menace, reveals her co-worker and friend model Priya Soni from Mumbai.

She had approached a politician, religious leader and an astrologer for help and solutions, but she did not want to go to the police says her friend Priya Soni who is also an actor and model.

Vaishali’s former boyfriend Rahul Navlani with whom she had broken off and did not want to continue any contact with him, kept harassing and troubling her daily to continue their relationship.

When Vaishali learnt that Rahul had lied about her divorce, she decided to start her life all over again and get married and settle down. There was some pressure from her relatives too as Vaishali was approaching 30 years of age, said her friend Priya Soni.

According to Priya, “Vaishali first contacted a powerful local politician and requested him for help. She told him how she had broken off with Rahul after he lied to her about his divorce and wanted to lead her own life separately. The politician advised her to save all the WhatsApp chats with Rahul as well as his messages and his wife Disha Navlani’s messages and he recommended a prominent criminal lawyer from Indore, suggesting that Vaishali should go and meet him,” explained Priya, adding that Vaishali never visited the lawyer.

“She later on went to an astrologer for help and did some religious rituals suggested by the astrologer, but Rahul continued his harassment. She even contacted a well-known religious Guru, who also advised her to go to the police with her family. Vaishali was trying to sort out the problem by herself. She did not want to involve the police and was scared of Rahul as he had with him her private and personal intimate photos an videos and kept threatening her about them,” Priya revealed.

“Rahul was also violent and used to beat her. He had slapped her on several occasions and threatened to ruin and distort her face, if she went to the cops,” Priya said.

“Rahul also threatened her that he has shared her intimate photos and videos with some of his friends, with instructions to release them on social media if he was arrested by the cops. Hence Vaishali did not want her photos in compromising positions with Rahul to go viral and that is why she did not go to the police,” Priya explained.
