"He spoke to me in a cheap manner a number of times, but I did not react."

The matter came to a head on May 29. "That day, I went shopping with my friends. When I returned, he started yelling at me.

He screamed 'Tu apne yaar ke saath bahar gayi thi' and said several other things that I can't even repeat," she alleged.

Cruel intentions

Suryavanshi added that the director also took away her passport and threatened not to let her leave Malaysia. However, she came back on May 31, after the end of the shooting schedule.

"Chhabria's intentions were not good. But it was only after I started shooting for the film that I learnt that he had a bad reputation.

Men like him spoil the name of the film industry," said Suryavanshi.

When contacted, Chhabria said, "She is a prostitute and I don't want to talk about her."

Police Inspector D Sankhe of the Oshiwara police said, "We have taken her complaint against the director and will take necessary action."
