On being asked when is she planning to meet Karan, an elated Pooja revealed to us, “As its weekend I am not sure when will he be out, but mostly next week I shall meet him.”

Last month, Pooja along with the members of Karan's music band Band Of Boys spoke about how it was "unfortunate to see such a kind man being subjected to something like this; the reputation damage, the family trauma, all these are unacceptable to me. There are a number of cases where women are not using the law, they are misusing the law," quoted the actress. 

For the unversed, A few days back, the 34-year-old woman who had accused singer-actor Karan of rape and extortion was attacked by two people riding a sports bike, while she was taking a morning walk. It was said that the attack was masterminded by her lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan. However, the lawyer said that the woman herself had planned this attack!
