Gossip columns went abuzz when Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre was caught pantyless at Karan Johar’s party in Mumbai which had been hosted by the director to celebrate the many awards his movie My name is Khan won at the Filmfaire awards 2011 last week.

Sonali was caught in the act when she arrived to the party along with Aishwarya Rai wearing a black mini dress and when the photographers, who took pictures and videos of her, questioned on her slimy fashion faux pas, the actress indifferently said, “I am happy that you saw it.”

However, Sonali has vehemently opposed the reports and has issued an official statement in this regard. The statement, sent by her publicist reads, “There have been malicious reports circulating online about a wardrobe malfunction concerning our client Ms.Sonali Bendre. 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.”

The statement also denies her quote mentioned in the report. “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.”

It further mentions that legal action will be taken against those who have publicized the story. “We would like to elucidate to all concerned that the story is fabricated by vested interests that aim to damage her reputation and hence request you to not credit it or encourage it. More importantly other sources further publicizing this malicious story, will face a legal notice.”

Well, we hope that the statement clears all the airs about the supposedly sleazy act done by a respectable married actress…..
