I believe in what I said: Khushboo

With the apex court giving her a clean chit Wednesday, southern actress said she stood by her comments on pre-marital sex and live-in relationships and that celebrities were pinned down for no rhyme or reason.
'When you look around, every celebrity is pinned down for no rhyme or reason and that is quite a harassment,' Khushboo told NDTV in an interview. 'I knew what I had spoken...it's not an easy task for a woman to stand alone and say 'I believe in what I have spoken',' she added.
The Supreme Court Wednesday dismissed criminal cases against Tamil actress Khushboo for making a controversial statement endorsing pre-marital sex and live-in relationships.
A bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice B.S. Chauhan quashed 22 criminal cases against her saying Khushboo's statement on the issue of pre-marital sex and live-in relationships was her personal view and the Indian constitution entitles her to express it.
Khushboo claims she was misquoted in a Tamil newspaper and that her remarks about pre-marital sex and living together were made as part of a discussion on AIDS and HIV.
