Saumya Tandon refutes Shilpa Shinde's claim, issues a statement
Saumya Tandon denies knowing that Shilpa Shinde was being sexually harassed by Sanjay Kohli.
Shilpa Shinde today held a press conference after the actor yesterday filed a FIR against her last show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai producer, Sanjay Kohli, for allegedly sexually harassing her during her stint on the show.
While addressing the media today, the 39-year-old actor also revealed that she had shared her concern with her then co-star Saumya Tandon who did not take it seriously and instead told her, "Humari industry mein koi rape nahi karta." (No one rapes in our industry)
She further added that it was only later that she got to know that Saumya has told Sanjay's wife Benaifer about this because two says later she asked her if she wanted to leave the showw. Shilpa also quoted Benaifer saying, ‘yeh kya keh rahi ho tum…koi pyaar se baat karta hai, toh tumhe yeh sab lagta hai. Humein do minute lagenge tumhara career spoil karne mein.’
Saumya has finally reacted to this and has denied that any such communication took place between her and Shilpa. "I strongly stand against any kind of sexual harassment of women at work or any place. Having said that, there was absolutely no communication between Shilpa and me about this. Personally my interactions with my producer has been very professional and I didn't face any such problem. I can't comment on Shilpa's case as I am not aware of it at all" Saumya wrote.
Shilpa today alleged that Kohli on the pretext of taking a photo touched her inappropriately. The production team yesterday in a statement have however refuted her allegations and have made it clear that they will see her in Court.
