Lakshmi Rai refutes relationships with cricketers

The internet is abuzz with the images of Lakshmi Rai along with the tainted cricketer Sreesanth. A few images of the actress along with the cricketer have been doing the rounds on the internet in the last week.

But when quizzed the actress about it, she claims that those images were taken when the duo had shot for a television commercial a few years ago. The Mankatha actress feels that it was not right to use those stills when there is a raging controversy on the cricketer. The actress feels that a woman shouldn't be needlessly dragged into a controversy as it can affect her image in the public.

She added that she was involved in the IPL in the beginning stage in a professional capacity and that she doesn't have a personal relationship with any of the cricketers.
