During her appearance on the podcast, Straight Up With Shree, Lagnajita recalled an incident when she visited Roshan's house in Santacruz for work. "When I used to live in Mumbai, he had called me to meet him at his Santacruz residence. It was a lavish space, quite well-maintained and nicely decorated. We sat in his music room, which had all kinds of amenities and instruments," she recalled.
She went on to say, "I sat down and he was sitting next to me. I had sung quite a few advertisement jingles by then. So there was an iPad on the table, and he asked me to show him some of my work. As I browsed on the iPad, I saw him shift a bit towards me. I noticed it but did not react instantly. But then, without any further ado, he slipped his hand inside my skirt, as if it was nothing. I didn't say much to him. I just got up and walked out."
"I didn't make much hue and cry about it, because I feel that it was his problem and mistake that he resorted to such behaviour. It was not my mistake that he did that," she added.
Rajesh Roshan has not reacted to Lagnajita's claims yet.
The singer also stated that casting couch not only exists in Bollywood or acting field, but in the music industry as well. Stating that Rajesh Roshan was just one of the names, and she has had similar experiences with other well-known celebs as well, Lagnajita said that she does not wish to name them as it would result in a massive outrage, making their lives difficult.
