Writer Juhi Chaturvedi
A day after she was accused of plagiarising the story idea of "Gulabo Sitabo", scriptwriter Juhi Chaturvedi has claimed that the film is her original work and her "conscience is clear".
"My conscience is clear, and so are the facts in this matter. 'Gulabo Sitabo' is my original work and I am proud of it. I shared the idea with the director (Shoojit Sircar) and lead actor (Amitabh Bachchan) of the film in early 2017. I subsequently registered the concept note for the film in May 2018," Chaturvedi said.
