Aditya Pancholi and Pooja Bedi were once in a serious relationship. The duo’s extra-marital affair made headlines in the late 1990s, however, things took an ugly turn after their breakup when Pooja revealed Aditya raped her minor maid. In an old interview with a magazine, the actress mentioned Aditya physically abused her house help on the pretext of paying for her acting class. Pooja called Aditya the "most disgusting" man she has ever met.
The actress speaking to a leading daily expressed her anger over Aditya raping her minor maid and said she wished the actor "dies a dog’s death and that if she would have a gun, she would have shot Aditya." Bedi also narrated an incident where she found some love bites on her house help’s neck and started teasing her, asking about her boyfriend. Pooja stated, “A few days ago, my maid has shown me some bruises on her neck, which I recognised as love bites. I teased her and asked her who her aashiq was but she said that she did not have any.” She added, “Then last night I was talking to her and again I asked her playfully what was her boyfriend's name. She hesitated a little and said that I knew him. So I started to name all the guys I knew she knew when suddenly looking at her downcast face I asked it was Aditya? At that she burst into tears and said, yes, it was him.” ALSO READ: Why I FELL For Kangana Ranaut & Why Our RELATIONSHIP ENDED: Aditya Pancholi BARES IT ALL!
The actress further revealed that her then 14-year-old maid told her that the actor gave her false hope of making her an actress and played with her mind. Further, when Pooja asked the maid why she let Aditya touch him and to this she mentioned, ‘Ek baar jab hogaya fir kya farak padta hai. It seemed he used to come to my house when I was not at home. Sometimes he'd go straight to the maid. He kept telling her she was the only one, he ever loved.”
Pooja Bedi, daughter of Kabir Bedi, had also filed a case against Aditya Pancholi. However, the case was quashed after he and the maid confessed that it was a consensual relationship.
