Mumbai-based
model and actress Sapna Singh today alleged that she was molested by a
producer at Versova near Andheri whom she had met at an audition about
two weeks ago. Speaking to Newz66.com, she said the producer tried to
pull her towards him and touched her bust, but she slapped him and fled.
Speaking to Newz66.com Sapna
said, “I was called for an audition which I attended, but the audition
was a farce. After speaking to me for a few minutes the producer asked
me point blank if I was willing to compromise. He said he would give me
a big break and launch me in a big way. He tried his level best to
convince me, by dropping names and talking about certain known directors
who had started their careers with him as Ads (assistant directors) or
assistants. He also mentioned the names of some known models and
upcoming actresses who he asserted had slept with him and he in turn had
financed them or their music videos. I told him bluntly that I do not
compromise, and if that was all he wanted to ask me, he could have asked
me on phone itself and I would have replied with a capital NO.”
Revealing her ordeal to Newz66.com,
Sapna recounts the traumatic incident, “It was then that he got up and
touched me inappropriately. I too immediately got up and made for the
door, but he held my hand and tried to pull me towards him and tried to
touch me on my bust. I turned around and slapped him hard which stunned
him for a few seconds giving me time to flee.
My friends
have insisted that I file a police complaint. At this stage I do not
want to file a police complaint because I am shooting for a Tamil film
and I am not in Mumbai for the next 20 days. Also a lot of paperwork,
court appearances and other legal formalities are involved and it will
cause me great mental stress, but I have spoken to my family and they
will take a call on this in a day or two. I am trying to forget the
incident and have made up my mind never to meet any producer or director
alone. The incident happened in the first week of January,” she reveals
adding that the producer in question has financed two murder-mystery
movies in the past which were released under the banner of a known
director/producer.
