Malvi Malhotra has finally received justice after a four-year-long legal battle against producer Yogesh Singh. As per the reports, in 2020, the actress was stalked and attacked by him in Mumbai. Yogesh even stabbed her for allegedly turning down his marriage proposal. However, the court found the attacker guilty and sentenced him to three years of rigorous imprisonment.
After the producer was found guilty, Malvi Malhotra spoke to News 18 and expressed how relieved she felt. The actress said, “There’s finally a sense of relief. I’ve been fighting for the last four years. There was so much pressure and a lot of disturbances. But the truth finally came out.” She further expressed saying, “There was a lot of mental trauma I went through. More than the physical scars, it was the mental agony that impacted me.”
Malvi further stated that the incident left a sense of fear in her. The actress revealed that she constantly felt like someone was being chased and followed. Fortunately, Malvi received support from her family, especially her father.
She mentioned how her father told her that “physical injuries” would heal with time, but one should never live their life in fear. Malvi shared that he advised her to learn self-defense following the tragic incident and gave her the strength to step out of the house.
Malvi went on to say that she never had to receive therapy because of her father’s constant support.
