The verdict in the Kerala actress-assault case has triggered an emotional reaction from several celebrities and the actress Shafna Nizam has openly declared that she has lost faith in the justice system.Reacting to the judgment through Instagram, Shafna did not hold back her heartbreak and frustration. In a powerful post, she wrote, “Avalkoppam!! Always n Forever!! Losing hope… what’s the justice given for the victim who suffered and whose life was turned upside down? The sleepless nights, the breakdowns, the pain, the assault, the harsh words, the character assassination — none of it fades. But still, if justice was served, at least her broken world would feel like it was heard… at least the truth would stand when she no longer could… Trust in justice is gone, shattered the same way the victim was..” Meanwhile, Shafna has appeared in Dileep’s ‘Aagathan’ which was released in 2009.
