Simran
Budharup,
who
plays
the
role
of
Rishita
in
Star
Plus'
popular
show
Pandya
Store,
revealed
that
she
has
been
getting
rape
and
death
threats
on
social
media
from
young
boys
and
girls.
She
added
that
things
became
so
ugly
that
she
had
to
file
police
complaint.
The
actress
said
that
initially,
she
ignored
negative
comments
as
she
knew
that
it
was
bound
to
happen
as
her
character
broke
the
relationship
of
Raavi
and
Dev.
However,
things
went
out
of
control
when
people
started
abusing
and
giving
rape
threats
to
her.
Simran
was
quoted
by
ETimes
TV
as
saying,
"Initially,
I
would
take
all
the
negative
comments
lightly
because
my
character
was
doing
things
for
which
she
was
bound
to
get
disliked.
She
broke
the
relationship
of
Raavi
and
Dev
who
were
already
established
characters
from
Pandya
Store,
but
recently
it
went
haywire
when
people
started
abusing
and
giving
rape
threats
to
me
on
social
media."
She
added,
"A
lot
of
things
were
happening.
That's
when
I
took
a
step
and
I
went
to
the
police
station
and
lodged
a
complaint.
These
were
a
group
of
kids
who
were
around
the
13-14
age
group.
Their
parents
gave
them
phones
for
education
purposes
but
these
kids
were
misusing
their
parents'
trust.
They
didn't
know
where
to
draw
the
line
and
what
was
wrong,
so
they
started
doing
these
things."
Simran
feels
that
parents
should
keep
a
watch
on
their
children
during
this
age
as
they
don't
know
what's
right
or
wrong.
Although
she
is
happy
in
her
life
working,
she
feels
bad
for
kids
when
she
reads
such
nasty
comments.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
she
has
a
young
sister,
who
is
around
that
age
and
if
she
does
something
like
that,
she
said
that
she
doesn't
know
what
she
would
do
to
her.
