Teenage Encounter Leaves Lasting Impact on Surveen Chawla: Man Exposes Himself, Causing Alarm with Bulge in Pants
Bollywood Actress Surveen Chawla, recognized for her roles in Hate Story 2, Sacred Games, and Rana Naidu, has shared two harrowing experiences from her past – a childhood incident involving sexual harassment and a later encounter with a director.
In a candid conversation with Hauterrfly, Chawla spoke about a disturbing episode from her teenage years. As a 15 or 16-year-old, she was approached by a man on a bicycle, whom she described as a "dark-looking Sardar in a turban." The man, as she recollected, inappropriately exposed himself while she was playing near her home. Left bewildered and terrified, she ran away, the incident leaving a lasting impact on her[2][4].
Years later, during her burgeoning acting career, Chawla encountered another form of harassment. She revealed that a director, following a professional meeting, attempted to kiss her after the meeting at his office[1][4][5].
The encounter took place despite Chawla having discussed her marital status with the director during the meeting, making the incident even more inappropriate. She had to push the director away, feeling startled by his unwanted advances.
The revelations shed light on the persistent issue of casting couch harassment and predatory behavior in the entertainment industry[3].
On the work front, Chawla was recently seen in "Criminal Justice: A Family Matter," which premiered on JioHotstar on May 29. Upcoming projects include the second season of "Rana Naidu" on Netflix, which is set to premiere on June 13[4].
[1] "After the meeting at his office cabin, he came to see me off at the gate, and this was after I got married. And the strange thing was that we talked about this in the meeting also, he asked me how it was going and what my husband did, and it was just us speaking inside his cabin because he had a big office. When I came to the door to say bye, he leaned towards me trying to kiss, and I had to push him back."
