Bigg Boss 19's Malti Chahar shares disturbing casting couch incident, says ‘He tried to kiss me on the lips’
Model-actress Malti Chahar, who entered the Bigg Boss 19 house as a wildcard contestant, managed to make a place for herself in the show. She not only became the Top 6 finalists, but also won several hearts. Recently, in an interview, Malti opened up about a shocking casting couch incident when she met a senior filmmaker for a project.
During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Malti revealed that a well-known senior filmmaker attempted to forcibly kiss her.
Speaking about the incident, Malti shared that she would often meet the senior filmmaker to discuss work. Once the discussion was over, she politely gave him a side hug. However, what followed left her completely shocked.
She recalled, "In return, he tried to kiss me on the lips. I froze. I didn’t understand what had just happened. I immediately stopped him and never met him again. I considered him like a father figure. That incident taught me a lesson - never put anyone on a pedestal. Be cautious of everyone. I never imagined someone of that age could behave like that. I was extremely angry
That's not all, Malti further stated that casting couch incidents are a harsh reality in the entertainment industry. "Yes, sometimes it happens. Once or twice, people may try their luck. People here are very smart. They understand your nature and your body language. One or two people crossed the line, one even misbehaved, but most understood my boundaries," she revealed.
Bigg Boss 19 came to an end on December 7 and Gaurav Khanna was declared as the winner of the show. While Gaurav lifted the trophy, Farrhana Bhatt and Pranit More became the first and second runner-up respectively.

Malti doesn't have a matured mind. She is clueless about anything she says. She lives in a deranged world of her own. She is bad company to have around. Not a sound minded person.Read allPost comment
