Sexual harassment? ‘Riya pulled down my pants, exposed my butt cheek,’ says Ragini MMS Returns co-star
- Nishant Malkani, who is cast opposite Riya Sen in web series Ragini MMS Returns shared this incident in an interview
- The actor says the actress was saying that the people would love it just like John Abraham in Dostana 2
- What if the same thing had happened to a female star?
FollowRecently, Ragini MMS 2 as a web series was in the news. It was the pictures of actress, Karishma Sharma, flaunting her bare back. Then somehow steamy scenes from the web series happened to be leaked ahead of the release and now something else has come but has gone unnoticed largely.
The leaked scene shows Riya Sen getting intimate with her co-star Nishant Malkani. Interestingly, according to a report in Midday, the actress was quite uncomfortable filming the intimate scenes with her co-actor and had reportedly asked the director to tone them down. But what you are going to read below, definitely does not reflect the actress’ discomfort.
According to an interview the male lead gave an entertainment channel, there was quite some chemistry between the two. Explaining how intimate scenes are shot in the telebiz, the actor said that ‘intimate scenes are never done in one take’ it does take more than one and Riya and himself did have to do some scenes over but they were comfortable with it and the shoot was ‘fun’.
On being asked about a fun memory from the sets, the actor unknowingly let slip a scandalous piece of news. The channel quotes him as saying “So I remember the other day when we were shooting for this love making scene, Riya suddenly got so happy and suggested I should pull down my pants and flaunt my butt cheek just like how John Abraham did in Dostana 2. I didn’t take her seriously until she literally pulled down my pants while we were shooting the scene and exposed my butt cheek. I was like whattt?? At least you could have told me before doing it and she was like oh don’t worry, people seeing your butt cheeks are going to love you. Trust me all the women are going to love you…you have a great body and this and that I couldn’t go beyond “Riya kya kar rahi hai yaar, bata toh deti?
This can be construed as a case of alleged sexual harassment but did not grab anyone’s attention because this time it was a woman who was behind it. Newly married actress Riya Sen, allegedly sexually harassed her co-actor Nishant …. and the man was just left saying ‘ You could have told me before doing it’.
Nishant himself does not attach too much importance to the act. In fact, he is over the moon that he got to act with his ‘crush’ Riya and reveals that he has found a friend for life in her.
You may say, we are reading too much into the incident but it you were to place the same situation with reversed roles, it would have assumed much serious connotations and probably a huge debate.
