 "I wasn't available at the spot so can't say what exactly happened in that moment, but I will definitely say that many such incidents happen with actresses in this glamour world. Humaari industry mein hi kya, kya ladkiyon ke saath ye sab humaare desh mein nahi hota? Duniya mein nahi hota? I mean it happens all the time and every time they are asked to keep their mouth shut. In fact, I would say ye auratein hi hain jinki wajah se auratein chup rehti hain. The day women support each other, the scenario will change,” she added. Kavita Kaushik and Divyanka Tripathi too has spoken in her favour.
