When asked Kiku about the same he denied it and said that he is not an active member and the trust was only formed for the welfare of the citizens. “I just attended the event as other celebrities did and I am not a member or a trustee of Mumbai Fest though my father is the secretary. My name has been dragged into this for no reason,” said Sharda.
