The actress narrated the incident, “I am waiting for the result, right now I can only talk about my experience. You know what offended me is that I have worked for so many years in the industry, I am not a newcomer who’s a new to Mumbai and this kind of call left me surprised. From July 24 random numbers started calling me, quite a few Mumbai numbers also. There were non-stop calls. I changed my handset too. Usually, I don’t answer unknown numbers. But once I answered and he said, ‘Koena?’ and I said ‘Yes’. And after that, he started talking nonsense and filthy, it took me seconds to react. I was literally frozen. And after few minutes I was just angry and then I fired him. After that there was a marathon of calls. I was tired of answering the calls. And then on July 25, I got no calls, I was like fine they got it. But, the next day he called again and I fired him and he abused me in Marathi. I took it lightly and I was like they must be some jobless people. But again on July 26, I got calls from the same numbers. I didn’t answer the call. But the calls went on and on and so I answered and they started abusing.”

Narrating her mental state she said, “They got in my nerves, I was so scared. My blood boiled, I thought the way I gave it back to them, they won’t call, but they kept calling. They should be punished and locked in jail”.
