Malti Chahar, who almost made it to the finale of Bigg Boss 19 with her strong personality, is still in the headlines even after leaving the show. Recently, Malti shared an experience related to her career that has once again drawn attention to the dark side of the entertainment industry, which is often not openly discussed.

When Malti became a victim of the casting couch
Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar's sister, Malti Chahar, recently revealed in an interview with Siddharth Kannan how a meeting with a senior filmmaker turned into a terrifying experience for her. She said that this incident happened when she was having continuous meetings regarding a project. According to Malti, after the work was done, she gave the person a side hug as a courtesy, but what happened next shook her to the core.

What did Malti say?
Talking about this incident, Malti said, "I won't take names, but I gave him a side hug and he tried to kiss me. He misbehaved and I gave him a piece of my mind. So this was the first such incident that happened to me. He was a director. He was very old, and I was shocked by what happened."

Malti said that seeing the senior filmmaker behave in this way was surprising. For a few seconds, she couldn't understand what was happening, but she quickly composed herself and distanced herself from him. Malti says that she considered the man a respected and fatherly figure, so she never imagined such behavior from him.

Advice to everyone to be cautious
In the interview, Malti also acknowledged that incidents like casting couch still happen in the industry. According to her, sometimes people try their luck by reading the other person's body language and nature. However, she also clarified that most people understand boundaries, but there are some who cross the line.
