Soni Razdan opens up on her #MeToo story.Last month, Tanushree Dutta opened up a can of worms when she accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of 2008 film Horn Ok Pleasss. Soon enough, many women called out well-known personalities in Bollywood for sexual misconduct and molestation.
From Vikas Bahl to Subhash Ghai to Alok Nath to Sajid Khan, several known faces in the film industry have been accused of unwarranted advances. And with each passing day, more skeletons are coming out of the closet.
Alia Bhatt's mom Soni Razdan, a film actress, too, opened up on her #MeToo story and revealed that that someone tried to rape her once on a film set.
In an interview to a website, the Raazi actress said, "Like there was an incident that happened to me when I was on a film shoot and somebody tried to rape me... Luckily they didn't succeed."
The actress added that despite the attempt to rape her, she did not file a complaint against the harasser.
"You know the only reason I never said anything at that time and it sounds really odd maybe but I realised if I would have opened my mouth then that person would have gone through a lot of problems. He had a family, small children. And at that time I said, ok, nothing really happened, I managed to control it but obviously I never spoke to that person again. I did not, not talk about it because of any shame or anything like that. I felt that I would be hurting his family, whom I knew," added Razdan.
However, she added that had it happened to her today, she would have made a complaint against the harasser. "But I don't know, if today it would have happened, I don't think I would have done the same thing. I wouldn't have been that magnanimous, I would have complained about it I think," said the actress.
Soni, who has also worked with Alok Nath, said that the actor would often behave lecherously after getting drunk. "I have seen him behave very very, I would say lecherously after he has been drunk. Even at one time, I wouldn't say he made a pass at me but I didn't like the way he was looking at me," added Razdan.
