During an interview with The Free Press Journal, Daisy said, “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 each of us individually. But I didn’t like because he touched me and he was holding my hand.”

She added, “I’ve always been apprehensive about people touching me. The reason why I don’t get massages 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 did.”

Daisy chose not to name the filmmaker she referred to.
