Malayalam-Tamil actor Shamna Kasim, also known as Poorna, was in the news after she made a complaint against a gang of impostors who attempted to extort money from her and her family. On June 30, she issued a statement on social media, to clarify certain rumours and requested the media to give her and her family some privacy.
Shamna, in her statement, revealed that she has come across a few reports which suggested that she knew the culprits personally.
Thanking fans for their support, she wrote, “Thank you for the wonderful support my dear friends and well-wishers during this ordeal. I just would like to clarify on few unreal reports in few media relating my case. I do not know the culprit and gang who are part of this blackmailing saga hence I am pleading to all my media friends not to propagate such fake news linking me with the culprit (sic).”
