Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu is "shocked" at reports about a purported conversation between her
and Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh that allegedly figures in the CD titled "Amar Singh Ki Amar
Kahani" sent to TV channels.
"I am totally shocked at the slanderous report. It was nothing short of outrageous that the alleged
conversation has been attributed to me. I had never had a telephonic conversation with Mr. Amar
Singh and the report is totally malicious," she told a news channel Sunday evening.
The "Jism" actress also said she was exploring legal options.
The CDs, which allegedly contain conversations between Singh and several Bollywood personalities,
were received by several media houses last week.
CNN-IBN refrained from playing out the tape and instead forwarded it to the Supreme Court that is
hearing the case.
Singh sent a legal notice asking NDTV not to broadcast the CD but to give it to the apex
court.
Speaking to NDTV, Singh denied approaching judges to influence a judgement and claimed the CD
may have been "distorted" or "morphed".
Delhi Police have already filed a charge sheet against four people arrested in connection with the
tapping of Singh's phone. In the one-and-a-half-month long investigation, police arrested private
detectives Vijay Dhawan, Bhupendra Kumar, Anurag Singh and Reliance Infocomm employee
Kuldeep.
