Shivya Shares Her MeToo Story

Shivya told that ever since the TV show Humsafars got shut down she appeared in the music video Fidaa over a lull of eight months. Shivya said she came across a phone guy who called himself a producer trying to trap her to compromise so that she could bad an ad commercial with a leading celebrity. Shivya confessed that despite being a part of a beauty pageant and a popular TV show, Pathania wasn’t immune to exploitation. Shivya stated, “I was called for an audition in Santacruz (Mumbai). I entered the room, it was very small. The guy (who was supposed to be the producer) told me if you want to do this advertisement with a bigger celebrity, you will have to compromise. The funniest part that I will never forget is uske laptop pe Hanuman Chalisa chal rahi thi (Hauman Chalisa was palying on his laptop). It was so funny that mujhe hassi aa gayi (I burst into laughter). I started laughing. I asked, ‘Aapko sharam nahin aa rahi hai (Aren’t you ashamed)? Aap bhajan (Hindu devotional hymn) sun rahe ho aur aap kya bol rahe ho (you are listening to bhajan and still talking like that).” Also Read – After Vikas Gupta Accused Arshi Khan of Blackmailing, She Puts Out SHOCKING Clarification
