Vaishali Thakkar had several work offers, Rahul Navlani is lying: Priya Soni

NEW DELHI: Responding to claims by the arrested accused Rahul Navlani in the Tv actor Vaishali Thakkar suicide case, model Priya Soni who has worked with Vaishali and was known to her, said Rahul is lying through his teeth.

“Vaishali had several work offers. She was getting offers for new projects and web series every week. But Vaishali wanted to settle down in life. She wanted to get married and hence she was going slow on work. She was also being choosy about her work as she only wanted to take up select projects. Rahul’s claims that she was not doing well on the work front is totally false and an attempt to sidestep the police probe,” Priya Soni said, adding that Rahul should be booked for murder under Section 302 of the Indian penal code.

“Vaishali’s family is well off. They do not need money from a person like Rahul Navlani. He is misleading the media and the investigation by spinning false stories to support his cause. To say that Vaishali was financially weak or was not getting work is totally false. Rahul is lying about this,” Priya countered.

“Rahul is trying to camouflage his wrongdoing and his crimes. He used to physically beat and assault Vaishali Thakkar. He has forced her to have and maintain a physical relationship with him by blackmailing her. He has literally raped Vaishali on several occasions by having sex with her by blackmailing and threatening her. He is a rapist, cheater, a con man and a murderer,” Priya angrily blasted Navlani for attempting to change the narrative and give a false spin to the case.
