The actress, who is gearing up for the release of her new film Aakrosh about honour killing, urges people to stop buying pirated CDs and DVDs.

"Lot of hard work goes into making films. Each film supports hundreds of people (Entire Crew and their families). Say no to piracy, watch films in theatres," she wrote on her Twitter page.
