Sayali Bhagat

Femina Miss India World 2004, Sayali Bhagat, was once a name to reckon with in Bollywood. She appeared in movies like 'Halla Bol', 'Paying Guest', 'Jail', among others; but soon went on to leave the industry forever. However before leaving Bollywood she released an official statement in which she accused big Bollywood names like Shiney Ahuja, director Sajid Khan, co-star Aarya Babbar and even Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan of sexual harrasment. Her statement read, "Recently, at the launch of the first look of Tinu Verma's film This Weekend, Mr Amitabh Bachchan was the chief guest. Like everybody else, even I bent down to touch his feet to seek his blessings. Amitabh placed his hand on my butt and felt it up. I was too stunned to say anything to anyone. He should show some respect. After all, he is a 70 year old man, my grandfather's age. I felt like slapping him the moment he placed his hand on my butt."

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut stepped into the industry at a very young age. At an event, the 'Queen' actress recalled about the time when she was physically abused and hit by someone from the industry.

In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Swara revealed an incident when she was asked for sexual favours for roles in movies. Sharing an old story of hers, Swara said, “...during a 56-day outdoor shoot at a remote location when I was still fairly new, the director harassed me with texts and dinner invites. He stalked me during the day and called me through the night. I was asked to go to his hotel room on the pretext of discussing a scene and would find him drinking. During the first week itself, he started talking about love and sex, and one night, he arrived in my room, drunk and asking to be hugged. It was scary!”
