Actress Itishree Singh, who appears on popular soap Babul Ka Aangan Chootey Na is under severe stress these days. Ever since word spread about a rape scene featuring her on the soap, the calls have been raining in.

A harried Itishree tells us, "With the kind of phone calls that I have been getting regarding the scene, it feels like I am reliving the sequence again and again. There are no graphic scenes and it's not the way people think it is. The character I play is chased by someone. I am first made to feel drowsy by consuming some drink. She tries to escape but after a while, she falls in the mud. In the subsequent scenes, it comes to light that she was raped that night."

Did she have any reservations about the scene? "When I was told about the scene, I was terrified initially and I did take sometime to mentally prepare myself. But later I was okay with it. I insisted on certain scenes being cut down though."

Now that we have the real story from the horse's mouth, we hope that the rumours will soon stop.
