TV Actor Karan Oberoi Drafts A Powerful Letter Ahead Of His Trial For Rape!

TV actor Karan Oberoi, who became popular as a member of the band called Band Of Boys and also appeared in shows like Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi and Inside Edge, is currently being tried on accusations of rape and blackmail. He had been arrested on 6^th May and his trial took place yesterday. Amidst all the controversies, he has found support in his friends who have come out and claimed that he is one of the best human beings around and that the woman who had filed the complaint had been harassing him for a very long time.

Well, the actor can apply for a bail tomorrow, but till now, he has been ordered to be kept in Taloja Jail in Navi Mumbai. The actor, before being taken to jail, managed to write a few words. He drafted a letter for his best friend Punit, who in turn sent it out to people.

Here is what Karan wrote in his letter:

"Rape is a most heinous depraved act by a monster, that snuffs out the life of another … slowly, little by little for the rest of the life of the victim leading them scared, scarred, battered and bruised for eternity…

If it is used frivolously just as a word or a statement to falsely implicate someone, either out of ego, vendetta, monetary or any other gains, It does the same for the accused.

I have always been a very proud feminist … Does it mean I hate men? No... It means that I see no difference between men and women other than the physiological ones ... Idea Is that nobody should be robbed of their dignity or made to feel inadequate because of their gender... will this horrible, gut-wrenching, miserable experience that's broken me into a million pieces change my stance ???

Will I feel less compassionate, less trusting - less full of love and less respectful of women? NO!!

Because people like this don't represent the vast majority of women on this planet, who are nothing but, the most caring empathetic, compassionate, kind and wonderful women, full of love... I’m surrounded by quite a few of them... They are a blessing in my life at these trying times and I sense their immense faith love and affection all around me. The fact that some of them are random strangers, and casual acquaintances who broke into tears seeing me just makes my resolve much stronger than I’ll not let the darkness that’s trying creep into me, take home, and I promise to love more strongly and unabashedly...

What was killing me was the fact, that not just I but everyone I hold dear in my life was also assaulted by these false claims and made to suffer for no fault of theirs ...my family, my parents, my siblings my friends each one of had to go through this horrible ordeal along with me... 

Yet, my immense faith in humanity and the power of truth sets me free even when captured in the darkest dungeon of my life. Someone told me that this excruciating experience will make me harder in life. And all I still feel is that I can be kinder, softer and gentle, and I perceive that as my biggest strength...

I only urge all you men and women out there, let no man or women suffer like this. “ACT NOW”!

 For all those who believed in me, thank you, from the bottom of my heart… and all those who wait for the truth to finally come out. I say the same…

Let’s just make the world a kinder, gentler place full of love and affection

God bless you all!”

Karan’s friends have come to his aid and his close friend Pooja Bedi has also urged for a men too movement.
