Shilpa Shinde's ex-boyfriend Romit Raj revealed that he was once propositioned by a popular creative director. The actor recalled the incident that occurred almost a decade ago.
Several women have come out and shared their traumatic stories of being sexually harassed. It is not only women, but men do face harassment in the industry! We recently saw late Pratyusha Banerjee's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh shared his #MeToo Story. Now, Shilpa Shinde's ex-boyfriend Romit Raj revealed that he was once propositioned by a popular creative director. The actor revealed how the creative director advised him (Romit) that he must know how to jump off boundaries and to be open to doing anything to get good roles!
Romit
was
quoted
by
HT
as
saying,
"I
was
called
in
a
coffee
shop
by
a
creative
director,
who
posted
pictures
with
some
of
the
biggest
names
in
the
industry
-
actors,
producers,
and
designers.
He
has
been
quite
influential
(that
way).
So,
I
was
happy
that
I
would
be
getting
an
opportunity
to
work
with
him."
The actor further added, "This person claimed that he was bisexual, but he (in reality) was actually gay." Although he had nothing against anyone's sexual orientation and everyone knows that he is a straight guy. He added, "I was expecting that he would speak nothing but work [related matters] with me, but on the contrary, he started talking about how this actor was gay or that actor was a lesbian and so on. He even mentioned a superstar's name, one of my favourites, and said that he was bisexual, and commented that it didn't matter if he were married."
While narrating his story, the creative director told Romit that, "As an actor, I should know how to jump off boundaries and be open to doing anything to get a good role. 'What will happen if you limit yourself? Then how will you grow as an actor?' He had commented. And he also said that 'I know you've come to meet me, I know you have done films and popular TV shows but why did we never work. Why will I remember you? What will be your recall value if you aren't ready to open up?'"
When asked as to how he ensured to come out of that situation, the actor told the leading daily, "I decided to let him know loud and clear. Dealing with such things sternly when it's happening is the best way. I have never worked with this person, but then that's fine."
