Film-maker Madhur Bhandarkar, who was alleged to have raped struggling model, Preeti Jain several times between 1999 and 2004, is relieved by the charges leveled against him.

Preeti apparently logged a complaint on him, saying that he raped her 16 times promising her the main lead in his film. However, the Supreme court quashed the charges saying, that the model is no longer interested in pursing the nine year old issue.

The relieved National Award-winner, known for films like Chandni Bar, Page 3, Traffic Signal, Fashion and his recent Heroine said, he was never demoralized by this whole issue. When the industry thought that his career was over, the actor kept strong and went ahead and made many successful films.

With tears of joy, he thanks all the people who stood by him and believed in him, especially his wife, Renu Namboodiri.

Well Madhur, we are glad your out of trouble, clean and clear!
