“I do have freedom of speech and on the basis of the same, I made this video (on Motilal Nehru that landed her in jail). I was not aware that I might be trapped in legalities like this. I do not have any knowledge as I am not a lawyer,” she said, adding “I will try exercise my freedom of speech by avoiding legalities,” added the Bigg Boss ex-contestant.
