Arshi Khan’s Friend Flynn Remedios Says Rumors Being Spread About Her Relationship With Vikas Gupta

MUMBAI: Arshi Khan’s good friend and publicist Flynn Remedios who has been with the Reality Tv star since the time she came to Mumbai to work in Bollywood, hit out at the rumors being spread against Arshi Khan concerning Vikas Gupta.

Remedios has been Arshi Khan’s publicist and manager for the last 7 years. He is also her confidante and good friend.

“Arshi never harassed Vikas. It was part of the game. What she spoke about Vikas and his relationship with his mother is known to several people in the industry. In fact, time and again Vikas has shared his family problems with his friends. In fact, Arshi brought up the issue on the show, because she wanted Vikas to mend his relationship with his mother. Her intention was not to defame him. Arshi was also in touch with Vikas’ mother and hence felt that it would be nice if Vikas would patch up with his mom on the show. It would give him a lot of mileage and footage on the show. Arshi Khan was only thinking about the benefits that would accrue to him and definitely did not want to hurt him in any way. The articles that are being published stating that Arshi kept on harassing Vikas or torturing him are all false and untrue. In fact, I have sent a legal notice to one of the online portals which has been publishing defamatory content against Arshi Khan,” Flynn Remedios told this reporter.

The allegations about blackmail are all false. Arshi has a habit of making fun in a different way. She is at times arrogant but does not mean any ill-will or harm. This is just a publicity stunt by Vikas to gain overdue sympathy.

On Tuesday’s episode of Bigg Boss 14, Vikas Gupta opened up about a few personal issues and claimed that Arshi Khan had been blackmailing him. He also said that Arshi had sent her a few recordings to back her claims.

Arshi did not fight with him on last night’s episode, but told Devoleena Bhattacharjee a few times that she has never blackmailed him. She also said that Vikas was exposing his own personal and family matters on national television, and she was not the one doing it.

A Vikas fan shared a video online late Tuesday, to prove how Arshi has been blackmailing him. The undated video is from the time when she went live on social media. “Mere paas proof hai, mai thoda sa chalaungi. Aap thoda sa suniyega. Uske pehle ki bhi recording hai mere paas (I have proof, I will play bits of it. Please listen to this part, I also have recordings prior to this conversation.).”

Responding to various media reports, Arshi Khan’s publicist said Vikas Gupta is going far too personal. It’s just not right. There is a lot of muck on him as well. We can release all that in the media, but then why should a third person intervene. If Vikas Gupta is getting his mother to speak for him on his behalf, he should remember that Arshi too has several people who can speak for her, Remedios said.

“Arshi is a kind-hearted soul. She is mischievous at times, but only in a friendly way. She doesn’t mean any harm. Vikas should not use Arshi’s name to better his prospects on the show. If this continues, we will retaliate,” Flynn said.

Remedios also said options for legal action and defamation were open as of now. We are considering all options, he told said.
