A portal recently quoted Mehreen Pirzada as saying that she is hurt that some sections of media have named her in the recent Tollywood sex racket unearthed in Chicago.

"This report is factually wrong.  I have not given such an interview," the 'Pantham' actress today clarified.

When she was recently to the US, the 'Raja The Great' actress was stopped for questioning by US Border officials when she told them she is an actress in the Telugu movie industry.  When the authorities told her about the sex racket, Mehreen told them she was hearing about it for the first time.  "The officials apologized to me and let me travel without any problems.

I came out publicly about the incident for the sake of propriety, as I felt it's best to make a statement before anyone else assumes otherwise.  The fact that I was embarrassed by the situation and very shaken up is a personal thing," the 'NOTA' actress added today.
