“Things like making me wait on set for six hours, willingly giving me wrongcall time to make me stand, always giving me the wrong set of dates so I’mmissing out on opportunities and then cancelling the schedule last minuteby these heroes. Ganging up on me and not inviting me to film events,launching trailers without me and then someone else dubbed for me withouteven telling me, which is violating the basic right of taking permissionfrom an actor.”
She shared: “On film sets, there have to be strict rules and strict actionshould be taken. Things can’t be solved on a personal level or behindclosed doors. Things should be taken to authority and immediate action isthe need of the hour. When anyone raises concern, people, director,producer or anyone needs to solve it. We need to become more sensitiveabout these things.”
