‘Completely fabricated’

Actress Shilpa Shetty slams fake comments regarding reservation attributed to her

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has refuted viral statements on reservation that were falsely attributed to her, calling them “completely fabricated” and “malicious garbage.”

Shilpa took to X, formerly known as Twitter, where she clarified that the claims were fake and appealed to the public not to fall for such false news.

“I am shocked to see fake statements on reservation falsely attached to my name. This is completely fabricated, malicious garbage. Do not fall for this fake news!” she tweeted. A screenshot of an Instagram Story has been doing the rounds, claiming that Shilpa shared her views on caste-based reservation. However, many have claimed that it is fake.

The fake viral post circulating in her name read: “Don’t touch reservation. Let general category doctors treat only general category patients and let everyone else treat only patients from their own caste. Do this for a few years and people will start asking to end caste-based reservation themselves. You can’t get skill through reservation.”
