More and more actresses across the country are coming out in the open about the sexual harassment they have been facing with their fellow co-stars, directors, producers and other teammates.
In a shocking revelation, popular Tamil anchor turned actress Lekha Washington, well-known to Telugu audiences for her roles in movies such as Vedam and Kameena, revealed in an interview that a popular Tamil director once asked her “what will I get in return” if he cast her in his movie.
Lekha told him “I am not going to sleep with you” but he continued to convince her even though her stern reply took him aback. Eventually, Lekha didn’t get the role.
Lekha went on to reveal that the director went for the film’s shoot in a foreign country with his heroine and died of a heart attack due to an overdose of Viagra. “That’s karma for you,” sighed Lekha, reminiscing the ghastly incident.
