"I am surprised how such baseless news was scrolled on news channels. There has been no CBI raid at my house. I'M surprised about the pattern of false news being telecast on many platforms just on the time when my film is able to release, " Haripriya told.
"The channels had scrolled that CBI raided my Sadashivnagar residence, but actually I stay in Yashwantpur, " she added.
The CBI raided residences of former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and his kin here and in Shimoga early Wednesday for his or her alleged role within the multi-crore-rupee mining scam within the state.
The pre-dawn raids in Bangalore and Shimoga, about 270 km from here, began after CBI late Tuesday registered a case against Yeddyurappa, his two sons B.S. Vijayendra and B.S. Raghavendra, son-in-law Sohan Kumar and mining baron Praveen Chandra under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 and numerous sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
A television channel beamed that CBI also raided Haripriya's house hinting that the raid happened at her place as a result of her closeness to Vijayendra. However the actress hints at some conspiracy to sabotage her forthcoming film "Kiladi Kitty", releasing May 18.
"It had happened earlier also when my previous films 'Manasugala Maatu Madhura' and 'Kallara Santhe' were released. Now, when my 'Kiladi Kitty' is hitting the screens, this incorrect news have been spread about me, " she said.
Haripriya also denied any reference to Vijayendra and said: "I DIDN'T know Yeddyurappa had two sons till some years ago. Some baseless news items appeared in tabloids alleging a romantic link between me and Vijayendra. I HAVE NOT met him and that i am surprised how the imagination of a few media persons go wild in such matters.
"I have denied it at earlier occasions also and i'm sorry to mention that I NEED TO again repeat what I'VE said earlier. This publication intends to spoil my reputation, but I'M REALLY NOT scared, " she said.
"I know rather well that some people feel threatened because I'M doing rather well in films in the entire four southern languages and my career is shaping up really well within the Kannada film industry. I WILL BE ABLE TO reveal names of a few of the film industry people who find themselves hell bent on spoiling my reputation, " added the actress.
