Sofia supports Rakhi Sawant in Valmiki case

Model-turned-nun Sofia Hayat has shown support to controversial actress Rakhi Sawant, who is facing charges of making objectionable remarks against sage Valmiki.

Sofia, a former "Bigg Boss" contestant, said in a statement: "I support her. The story that she said is historically correct, but if it's repeated, then certain sects get upset. I think this is wrong. "The story of Valmiki is inspiring because it teaches us that the core being of all is good and pure. That is when we get enlightenment."
