Anita Hassanandani extended support to her 'Naagin 3' co-actor Pearl V Puri, who has been arrested by Palghar police in Maharashtra in connection with an alleged molestation and rape case of a 5-year-old girl. Pearl has been booked by Mira-Bhayander Vasai-Virar police, invoking charges of IPC Sec. 376 AB and POCSO Act, 4, 8, 12,19, 21 for the rape of the minor girl. However, Anita called it a piece of "nonsensical" news, further adding that the truth will be out soon.

Anita shared a throwback picture with Pearl on Instagram and captioned the post, "Woke up to some nonsensical news bout @pearlvpuri I know him! It is NOT true ... canNOT be true.... all lies. I’m sure there is more to it. And the truth will be out soon. Love you @pearlvpuri #ISTANDWITHPEARL."
