Raj Nayani has threatened to file a defamation case against Wagh.
Politician Chitra Wagh questioned the actor’s dirty role in an ad in which he is seen shooting for an adult video on the platform Ullu.
Raj Nayani is a well-known actor in the world of television. He has acted in many hit television serials like Pushpa Impossible, Pandya Store and Rishton Ka Chakravyuh. The actor is currently in the news because a senior politician called him a “porn star” during a press conference.
Politician Chitra Wagh questioned the actor’s alleged dirty role in an ad in which he is seen shooting for an adult video on the platform Ullu. She called him a porn star and took on him for trying to bring this seedy porn culture to India. Raj has now reacted to her calling him a porn star and said, “I am a character actor and for insulting an artist, BJP leader Chitra Wagh should take back her words and apologise to me; otherwise I will file a defamation case against her even though I don’t want to.”
He went on to say that Chitra Wagh is an educated woman. The actor added that when an artist works in a movie or show, they have to portray characters according to the needs of the role. “She used pictures from a web series I had worked on and claimed that I was a porn star. This claim has offended me and she has defamed me by calling my acting porn”, he added.
Raj has acted in short films like Daru 2 Peg, Chhed Ka Chakkar and a serial and Palang Tod which was released in Ullu among others.
Raj’s other works include the serial Voot Select, Ilegal 2 and popular television serials like Star Plus’ Rishton Ka Chakravyuh, Pandya Store and Pushpa Impossible to name a few. He has also acted in Sunny Deol’s film Chup: Revenge of the Artist which also stars Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Pooja Bhatt and Saranya Ponvannan. He also acted in Vidyut Jammwal’s IB71.
