Details
'I fell on the floor and then he abused me'
Speaking to Filmibeat, Tallwar said, "There was a scene in which he had to kiss me, and I had to slap him, but the director hadn't clapped action."
"He kissed me, and I slapped him." She questioned how he could touch her without permission.
While Kundrra initially didn't do anything, he returned after a while and slapped her hard.
"I fell on the floor and then he abused me and my family. Nobody supported me."
Producer's role
Ektaa Kapoor apologized on behalf of Kundrra
Following the incident, producer Ektaa Kapoor reportedly intervened.
Tallwar said, "Later Ektaa ma'am apologized on Karan's behalf and supported me. She managed to make things easy."
The actor also alleged that Kundrra was interested in her while he was dating Anusha Dandekar.
"A girl actually understands what kind of gaze and vibe the boy is doing."
Toxic atmosphere
This is how Dandekar was involved in the matter
Tallwar claimed, "We had a common friend, so I decided to convey it to Anusha Dandekar who was Karan's girlfriend back then, that Karan was interested in me."
"But after that, she kept coming to set and monitoring. Soon after, they started making things difficult for me and the whole environment turned toxic."
Uncomfortable encounters
