"During the shoot, I was encouraged. They used to say I am doing great and Shilpa has seen your photos and videos and has appreciated my work. And when you get so much praise from the seniors it does not make you feel that you are doing something wrong and it makes you think to do better," she said.

"I was told that whatever they are doing is not wrong, during that time no legal notice was given to us.... at that time it did not seem that anything wrong was happening".

Asked about pornography being illegal and why did she got involved in the movies, she asserted that she was "the one who first went to Maharashtra Cyber Crime branch". "I never denied I did not run my own app. I have recorded my statement in the cyber branch," she said.

"I have never given any false assurance to someone or by misleading someone. I did not make a film, I did not make a porn film on the pretext of giving work to any girl," she added and left the interview in between.
