Gulabo Sitabo my original work, claims scriptwriter Juhi Chaturvedi
India TV NewsA 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". It has been claimed that Rajeev Agarwal had submitted a story titled "16, Mohandas Lane" in a the Cinestaan India's Storyteller Script Contest, where Chaturvedi was a jury member. On the plagiarism row, Anjum Rajabali, Jury Chairman, Cinestaan Script Contest, said: "While it is true that '16, Mohandas Lane' was submitted to the first edition of the Cinestaan India's Storytellers Script Contest of which Juhi Chaturvedi was one of the jury members, we want to clarify that she had absolutely no access to this particular script." Ritika Soni, vice president, Cinestaan Contest, asserted: "The script in question was not part of the final eight sent to any of the other jury members, including Juhi Chaturvedi at any point of time."
