Sonal harassed by crank calls
Kunal M Shah
Sonal Sehgal, last seen as Shiuli in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin might be currently out of job, but there is enough action in her life to keep her busy. Sonal has been constantly receiving crank calls on her cellphone.
Sonal is relieved that the calls are not scary in nature. "Though irritating, the caller doesn't threaten me. The man introduced himself as an actor co-coordinator by the name of Rajiv. He insists that I have been selected for an ad campaign. But when I probe further, he keeps silent. He is equally unaware of the monitory transactions between a model and a coordinator. To top it all, he says that he got my number from a television actors' directory, where my name was never registered."
Incidentally, Sonal had to go through a similar situation about seven months ago.
"At that time, I had lodged a complaint at the Bandra police station after which they issued a warning for the person, making calls. But again, I am getting these calls since a couple of days. I will wait for some time and then lodge a police complaint again," says an agitated Sonal.
Sonal adds, "Since the man is never abusive, I have warned him to stop disturbing me or else I'll get him put behind bars. Being an established actress, I know how dangerous and misleading these calls can be. I can't imagine the fate of those newcomers, who fall prey to such things."
