Later, the director asked the question, 'Why did you not enjoy it?'
The director called the incident accidental
The director called the incident accidental and said that it all happened suddenly. Reacting to this, the actress said that the incident on which they are saying that it was accidental, they are actually trying to fool everyone. If he is doing this even after apologizing to me, then I will have to seek legal help. The production house has assured me of my safety that such an incident will never happen again. That is why I did not stop the shooting.
Complaint was filed in July
The actress had filed a complaint in this case with the West Bengal Women's Commission in July. The hearing was held on July 21.
