Latha Rajinikanth shared that she has been "falsely implicated" in the case and that it was "not related to money".

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth‘s wife Latha Rajinikanth opened up about the cheating case filed against her in connection with the Tamil film Kochadaiiyaan. She was granted bail by a Bengaluru court on Tuesday and denied the allegations, claiming it is the “price we pay for being celebrities”.

“For me, it’s a case of humiliation and harassment and exploitation of a popular person. This is the price we pay for being celebrities. So there may not be a big case, but the news becomes very big. There is no fraudulence… I have nothing to do with the money,” shared Latha Rajinikanth in an interview with ANI.

A cheating case was filed against her by a Chennai-based advertisement firm in 2015, concerning the rights of the 2014 movie. The next hearing in the case will be on January 6.

The complainant claimed to have lent Rs 10 crore to Media One, one of the producers of the film, and has alleged that Latha Rajinikanth signed as a guarantor.

Latha Rajinikanth shared that she has been “falsely implicated” in the case and that it was “not related to money”. She shared, “They are doing this because I am a celebrity. That is why this harassment is going on. The money has been settled long ago.”
