She opened about the incident and said, “I was on a film shoot and somebody tried to rape me, for example, that kind of thing. Luckily they didn’t succeed.”
Further, she opened why she didn’t open about the incident at that time. “The only reason I never said anything at that time and it sounds really odd maybe but I realised if I would have opened my mouth that person would have gone through a lot of problems. He had a family, small children. And at that time I said, ok, nothing really happened, I managed to control it but obviously I never spoke to that person again. I did not talk about it because of any shame or anything like that. I felt that I would be hurting his family, whom I knew,” Razdan said.
Adding up to which she said, if the incident would have happened in today’s time she would have spoken about it. I wouldn’t have been that magnanimous, I would have complained about it I think.
