Supreme Court dismissed her lawsuit related to the implementation of 5G mobile technology in India in June. While passing the judgement in June,  SC Justice Midha had said that the actor and the other two plaintiffs abused the process of law and also imposed a cost of ₹20 lakh on plaintiffs. The court, in order, had said it appears that the suit was for publicity.

In the video, Juhi spoke in detail about how she approached different organisations and parliamentary committees about the issue.

Juhi said that she saw 14 cellular towers suddenly crop in at the Sahyadri Guest House right in front of her own home. She saw a news report about the harmful effects of cellular radiations on human health and decided to call up agencies who could help her find out if she and her family were affected by radiation from cell towers too, reports Hindustan Times.

“Whatever transpired in June, left me feeling hurt and confused. On one hand, I received some bad press and publicity, on the other, I received heart warming messages from unknown people telling me they were genuinely and completely in support.

“One such message was from a group of farmers in Maharashtra which brought tears to my eyes , they wished to carry out a voluntary drive to collect a small sum of money from each of their 10,000 farmer community to help me pay the hefty penalty, I had been fined with,” she said in the video.

She also said that ” all this while I remained silent, because I believe silence has its own deafening sound…”

“…but now I’d like to bring forth some very important and shocking details of happenings, in my 11 year journey of discovering EMF radiation, its health effects and the glaring ignorance of certain authorities in this regard. I hope you can make some time to watch this video,” she said.
