Bollywood actress Daisy Shah opened up about an uncomfortable incident from the early days of her career, recalling how she felt harassed during a casting meeting with a filmmaker from the South film industry. In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, the actress shared that the incident took place in Mumbai when a filmmaker had come to the city to conduct auditions.

Daisy revealed that several aspiring actresses had gathered to meet him for potential casting opportunities. Recounting the experience, Daisy said that the meeting made her feel uneasy due to the filmmaker’s behaviour.

"I was touched badly by one of the filmmakers in South. He had come to Mumbai for casting. We were 6-7 girls who went to meet him. He was meeting everyone of us individually. But I didn't like because he touched me and he was holding my hand," Daisy said.

She added, "I've always been apprehensive about people touching me. The reason why I don't get massage done is because I don't like being touched, even by a woman...by a man is a different story altogether. So that just put me off. I told him 'I will get back to you' but I never got back to him."
