The entertainment industry has seen a rise in sexual harassment cases, with a recent incident involving a 26-year-old actress who has accused a producer of stalking and abuse. The actress, known for her work in Punjabi music albums, alleges that the harassment has impacted her career and well-being
Recent weeks have seen a troubling surge in reports of sexual harassment within the entertainment industry. A notable case involves a 26-year-old actress who has formally accused a producer in Naigaon of molestation and abuse. The actress alleges that the producer has been stalking her since May, leading to persistent harassment that has adversely affected both her personal and professional life.
Recognized for her appearances in various Punjabi music albums, the actress recounted her interactions with the producer in her complaint. She stated that their initial meeting took place on May 17 at a hotel in Naigaon, during which the producer reportedly began using obscene language towards her. Following this encounter, the harassment escalated dramatically. The actress claimed that the producer inundated her with phone calls, often employing abusive language. In an effort to protect herself, she blocked his number; however, the producer continued to reach out from different unknown numbers, particularly when she was actively seeking work in the industry.
In her complaint, the actress expressed her frustration, mentioning that the producer had initially lured her with promises of work but ultimately deprived her of opportunities. She emphasized the emotional toll this harassment has taken on her, indicating that after receiving offensive messages earlier this week, she felt it necessary to seek police assistance.
