Story based on wardrobe malfunction untrue: Sonali Bendre's spokesperson

Describing as 'malicious' reports about a wardrobe malfunction concerning Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre, her spokesperson said the stories in this regard had left both Sonali Bendre and her family "highly grieved and disturbed".

In a statement, the spokesperson also warned that anyone further publicising this story would face a legal notice. The spokesperson also described as "utterly ridiculous" a quote in the story attributed to Sonali.

''On behalf of Sonali, we would like to clarify, that there is no truth to the story which has left both Sonali Bendre and her family highly grieved and disturbed.

We would like to elucidate to all concerned that the story is fabricated by vested interests that aim to damage her reputation and hence we request you to not credit it or encourage it. More importantly other sources further publicising this malicious story will face a legal notice,'' the spokesperson of the actress said.

''The story also carries a quote attributed to Sonali which is utterly ridiculous. Our client belongs to a respectable family, is a mother and has always shared a very warm and cordial relationship with the media,'' the spokesperson said. ''Sonali Bendre holds the media in high regard and she is of full faith that this speculation will be put to an end,'' the spokesperson added.

Reports appearing in a section of the media had alleged that Sonali Bendre had a wardrobe malfunction at a party hosted by a Bollywood filmmaker.
