The actor while recalling her experience stated that, “Unfortunately I have been subjected to the same and I have spoken about it before. I remember I was called for an audition and when I went there, there was no one else except him. I was just 16 back then and he tried to get me unconscious. I was uncomfortable and somehow managed to come out from there and later, after a few hours, I told everything to my mother.”

She further said, “I remember the next day, I went to meet him with my mother and my mother had slapped him to teach a lesson. Casting couch is a real thing but then, every industry is about good and bad people. I am fortunate to have later worked with some fabulous people with whom I have had a good working experience. God has been kind.”
