Actor Chrisann Pereira, held in Sharjah in drugs case, returns to Mumbai after release

Bollywood actor Chrisann Pereira, who was embroiled in a fake drug case in UAE's Sharjah, returned to India early Thursday morning four months after she was framed in a drugs case. She was imprisoned for nearly a month in the UAE and was granted bail after Mumbai police discovered that someone planted drugs on her in revenge after a fight over a dog.

Ms. Pereira's brother Kevin, who had been sharing regular updates about her return to the country, shared a video of her emotional homecoming on Instagram. In the video, the 27-year-old actor is seen giving a tight hug to her family members and caressing her pet dog at the Mumbai airport.

''Chrisann is finally back & reunited with us. I know I had announced in June that she would be back but it took slightly longer and she's finally back,' the video was captioned.
