Stop posting pictures of Shweta. Put out the pictures of her wealthy clients and the pimp. Expose the scumbags not the soft target.

The actress was also seen in films like Iqbal and TV show Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki.
Several actors like Aditi Rao Hydari and Upen Patel have come forward to speak up for Shweta.
