Pearl, who has played the lead in TV shows like Naagin 3 and Bepanah Pyaar, got embroiled in the controversy after a 5-year-old victim's father filed a police complaint against him. As per the victim's father, the first FIR was done by him in 2019 as his daughter recognised Pearl with his character name Ragbir from Bepanah Pyaar.

His industry friends came out in his support on social media. Ekta Kapoor, Nia Sharma, Aly Goni, Surbhi Jyoti, Karishma Tanna, and Divya Khosla Kumar among others came forward and demanded justice for Pearl.

Divya shared a series of posts and went on making some shocking revelations about the whole case mentioning Pearl is being falsely accused and punished because of a marital conflict between the alleged victim's estranged parents. An audio of Ekta Kapoor's conversation with the victim's mother went viral where she could be heard urging the mother to come out and speak on the matter as the mother herself claimed Pearl is innocent and that her estranged husband was trying to trap him.
