Hello viewers

My name is Hitesh Thakker, I am from Ahemedabad Gujarat. I was shocked when I heard about the new that Shiney has been caught for the wrong act but as per my knowledge its not possible, I can't even think that he would have practiced such an unacceptable anyways it's not proved yet as he as alleged for it, it's a logic to be put in that how such a famous actor would do so, it's not possible and anyways if it comes true then it's really a bad news, somebody must have planned to put revenge against shiney. Anyways guys it's my request that don't beleive the rumours.

If you have anything to add then please don't hesitate to call me at: 09824123408.

Thank you,

Hitesh Thakker.
