She mentioned–” During the initial days of my career, I came to Mumbai for a meeting and those men were very weird. There were multiple men taking the audition for a film and I was sitting alone. I was naive, a girl from a small town, who didn’t know anybody and was trying to do things on my own and my parents told me it was not gonna be easy. Those men were not talking to me nicely or looking at me nicely.” She added how most of them were looking inappropriately at her while having a conversation. This indeed made her uncomfortable and I didn’t know how to handle that situation.
