Kerala: Viral woman accuses director of sexual misconduct

KOCHI: (Mar 25) The young woman who shot to fame during a religious festival in northern India last year, on Tuesday, alleged that the director of her first film touched her inappropriately several times when she was a minor, and when she told her family about it, they did not support her.

Breaking into tears while speaking at a press conference here, she said that she knows what she had undergone back then and demanded justice for herself.

"My family said that my first movie was coming out, so I should keep quiet. Did they want me to be raped just because it was my first movie? They said that the media would blame me if I spoke out," the woman, who had married a man from another religion, claimed.
