  "account": "Komal Rani Swarnkar, a Bollywood actress, has addressed allegations of an alleged romantic relationship with veteran actor Govinda in a lengthy statement on Instagram Stories. The two are set to star in an upcoming film called Roopa. Komal began by criticizing the selective outrage from celebrities who criticized her personal life, questioning why they remain silent on serious issues. She asked why her personal life has become a public spectacle and why it's suddenly a matter of public concern. Komal clarified that their public appearances were due to the film's promotion, not a personal relationship. She challenged those who assumed their appearances were personal, stating they are working together and will continue to be seen together. Komal accused some actresses in the industry of using the controversy to stay relevant. She pointed out specific names, Kashmera Shah and Divya Khossla, who had previously criticized her. She asked them to stop associating themselves with her name, emphasizing that her dignity is in her own hands.",
