Just yesterday, filmmaker Sajid Khan was accused of sexual harassment and now it's Luv Ranjan. An actress has spoken up about her ordeal and shared an incident when she was asked to audition for a Luv Ranjan film. She said that she was asked by the director if she masturbates. She added that she had to walk out as she was left uncomfortable.
According to a report, the actress recalled that the incident happened in 2010. She was called by Vicky Sidana, a casting director, who said that the auditions for 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' were on. The dress code was a short skirt and a tight top, which the actress said was fairly common, and wasn't a problem with her. There were seven to eight girls there, and they weren't given any dialogues as they would usually ask actors to enact the scene. The actress assumed it was only a look test.

She opened up on how was she was made uncomfortable in the bikini test. The actress described how the director Luv Ranjan, and the cinematographer were sitting in a room and calling the girls in one by one. The girl who went in before her came out with an ashen look and seemed uncomfortable. Followed by a brief introduction, Luv Ranjan told her there was a kissing scene and bikini scene in the movie and asked if she was fine with that, to which she responded affirmatively. The director said he wanted to see what she would look like in a bikini, contrary to other bikini tests that the actress gave later in life, there was a female stylist who gave her a bikini to do the look test in the presence of lots of people.


The worst was yet to come, the director then asked her to strip down to her panties. She shared that Luv asked her to strip down to her bra and panties. He said he wanted to see her body so he could check if she needed to lose weight. The director apparently told her that they were not recording anything and the cinematographer would also leave the room.

Luv Ranjan even went on to ask her if she was a virgin or not and inappropriate questions like if she used condoms or if she masturbates. The 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' director told her this was because an actor needs to draw from their experiences and when they can't, he must know her so well, that he can help her. He asked her about her schooling and family, which made the actress feel relaxed. Then he asked her if she had a boyfriend, to which she said yes. Then he asked if she were a virgin, which led to the actress being shocked. The actress revealed that Luv further said that it's okay to talk like this since they are adults.

The actress said that he further asked her if she used condoms. The last straw was him asking her if she masturbates. By then, the actress was scared and asked if she could leave, to which Luv reportedly said that she shouldn't misunderstand him, and called the rest of the men from the audition team into the room and asked them if they trust him enough as a director, would they drop their pants if he asked them to do so.

Post all this, the actress said that she moved abroad and settled down overseas. She added that this incident stayed with her all these years. However, the director denied all such accusations by calling them absurd and he is willing to face any legitimate inquiry.
