After her name popped up in the drugs case, Sanjjanaa issued a statement. An excerpt from the statement read, “Coming to the drug topic, I have seen people drinking alcohol, partying in clubs and socializing during birthday party functions etc, but beyond that when I have nothing to do with it or no such “drugs” experience, it’s very irritating to get forced in media to talk about something you don’t know.
