The recent controversy against Jani Master led the actress to urge her comments again. For those unversed, the Butta Bomma choreographer was booked recently after a 21-year-old female choreographer alleged he sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions during outdoor shoots in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.
The complainant has urged that the choreographer had taken advantage of her in multiple instances and even mentioned how his wife was aware of the same. The 21-year-old artist also revealed that the former had even visited her house demanding the victim to marry her husband, even going as far as to assault her physically.
As per reports, the choreographer is booked under several charges, including section 506-criminal intimidation, section 376-rape, and section 323-voluntarily causing hurt. Moreover, a case under the POSH Act has also been registered against Jani Master as well.
