Would television star Pearl V Puri have to spend his birthday in jail? Pearl who turns 32 on 10 July is unlikely to get bail since he has been charged under the section pertaining to sexual violation of a minor. These charges are non-bailable.
While the legal procedure takes its course, the slew of supporters from the entertainment industry who believe Pearl to be innocent, is growing. A senior and very powerful television actor who doesn’t want to be named told this writer, “It is very tragic. In such cases it is one woman’s word against the accused and his supporters. No matter how hard his supporters scream in his defence the judiciary won’t be swayed, and it shouldn’t. In fact these powerful women like Ekta Kapoor speaking in Pearl’s defence are only making things worse for him.”
