<p>In a U-turn, former Star India CEO Peter Mukherjea on Thursday said the late Sheena Bora had informed him that she was his step-daughter. However, he had no reasons not to believe his wife Indrani’s denial of that claim though he found it “difficult to digest”.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Till Wednesday, Mukherjea was saying that he wasn’t aware of the fact that Sheena was Indrani’s daughter as his wife had always projected her as her sister.<br /><br />“I was told before we got married that Indrani had a brother and a sister, Sheena was the sister and Mikhail was the brother. Sheena at some later point had pointed out that it was incorrect information.”<br /><br />“She had told me that ‘Jeeju’... Indrani is giving you wrong information, and you please believe me and told that in so many words that I am not her sister, but I am actually her daughter. She told me that,” Mukherjea told Times Now.<br /><br />‘Couldn’t believe’<br /><br />“Of course I couldn’t take that at face value, because all these years I believed that she was Indrani’s sister and Indrani had told me that. I then confronted Indrani about it and she said it is utter rubbish and this has been fed to Sheena from somewhere else and it is completely, completely untrue and I was not to believe that at all,” he claimed.<br /><br />Mukherjea, however, maintained that he vaguely remembers the date when he was told about the fact and it was sometime in 2011.<br /><br />“I found it clearly very very difficult to digest... but there was no question of me not believing my wife, the woman whom I had married and lived with for over 10 years at that point. So why would I have any reason to believe, just because my son said so? I needed to have certain very clear evidence for that to be in consideration,” Mukherjea said.<br /><br />He also claimed that the same thing was communicated to him by Rahul but he had not believed him as well.</p>
