“Honestly, I have been lucky as I have managed to escape physically and mentally scarring situations. However, in late 2016, there was one incident that left me startled and took a while for me to recover,” the actor wrote in her post.

However, Arjun Sarja has denied the allegations. “I have been in the industry for several decades now. I have worked with 60-70 actress over the years and none have made such complaints. They respect me and stay in touch with me to date,” Arjun told News9.
