New Delhi: Veteran actor Darshan Jariwala has decided to step down from his role as Vice President of the Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) due to allegations made against him by a woman. These allegations involve claims of marriage, impregnation, and abandonment, which Jariwala denies. In a recent interview, the actor shared the reason behind the decision to step down, he also shared that he has filed a defamation case against the lady. 

In an interview with HT City, he said, "I am fighting a legal case, I have filed for defamation. CINTAA had nothing to do with my personal case, but because they were also being named and harassed unnecessarily, I myself decided that I will step down from my post and fight my case alone." 

Jariwala strongly refutes the accusations against him, calling them "rubbish" and emphasizing that no one has approached him directly regarding these claims. He asserts that he is pursuing legal action to address the situation properly. Despite facing attacks online for the past 1-2 months, he has chosen not to respond on social media and is instead focusing on the legal process. 

“There are some false complaints that have been filed against me jiske baare mai mujhe kisi ne kuch bola bhi nahi hai. The allegations on the internet are rubbish so I am proceeding legally. Let the truth come out. This has been going on for around 1-2 months. The attacks are becoming more and more virulent, without listening to my side. I have not reacted on social media, and have taken legal steps because that is the correct way to go about it,” he was quoted as saying by HT City. 

Expressing concern about CINTAA's involvement, Jariwala states that the association had already cleared him of any wrongdoing in a previous statement. He believes that dragging CINTAA into this matter is unfair and tarnishes their image. 

Refusing to be affected by negativity on social media, Jariwala remains confident in the truth and refuses to participate in online trials. Once the issue is resolved, he hopes to continue his contributions to CINTAA's welfare in the future, emphasizing his commitment to the association's well-being.
