"There is a lot of misrepresentation, manipulation, conspiracy and morphing. We are working which part is recorded in a conspired way, which part is morphed, which part is misrepresented," Swami told Times Now news channel.

He said the girl in the video was his devotee and she was taking care of him when he was ill.

"She was serving me for a long time. She was volunteering and serving me and taking care of me when I was sick for a long time. There is no denying that she was, she is and she will remain a devotee," he said.

He said he became sick last December, when the actress volunteered and served him. He was physically unwell and was "consciously in a deep samadhi", he said.

Swami, who has been slapped with cases of cheating after the video footage came to light on March eight, said the video will be sent to experts to find out the portions morphed in it.

"I believe I do not have any lust. 100 per cent I am sure that I do not have any need for other person," Swami, who is currently in Haridwar, said.

He said the video has been misrepresented by an on-looker.

Swami said he would return once the Kumbh mela was over but was ready to go immediately if the authorities want him for investigation. He said he has already arranged for a press conference to clarify his position.

Media vultures have been picking at the carcasses of her personal life ever since she tattooed Prabhu Deva’s name on her hand. Gossip columns in all the four south states are incomplete without news on her.

But Nayan is unperturbed with all such reports and doesn’t really care a damn about what the media or anyone has to say about her. As long as she knows she’s right, others can take a walk.

Currently, she is shooting in Bangalore for her first Kannada film opposite superstar Upendra and is enjoying every bit of it.

Says beaming Nayan: “I love Bangalore, the people and above all this unit. Everyone is going out of their way to make me feel comfortable and I feel so pampered. I have very good friends here and I meet up with them when I’m not shooting”

After the Bangalore shoot, Nayan will be off to London for a long schedule of the film and then joining noted director Shyamaprasad’s film in Kerala.
