Top Actor Asked Me To Come To His Bedroom: Vichithra Makes Shocking Claims In 'Bigg Boss Tamil'

Actress Vichithra, who has successfully completed 50 days on the ongoing 'Bigg Boss Tamil 7', has revealed her disturbing experience with the casting couch in the film industry.

During a task, the veteran actress disclosed the reasons behind her departure from the industry in the early 2000s despite receiving offers.

In a shocking revelation, Vichithra shared that a leading south actor had propositioned her to "come to his bedroom." When she refused, she faced harassment through various means, including disturbances in the night with incessant door knocking.

To cope with the ordeal, Vichithra sought the assistance of her future husband, Shaji, who advised her to change her room daily until the shooting concluded.

Despite her efforts to navigate through the troubles, Vichithra was inappropriately touched by a stuntman during an action sequence. When she reported the incident to the stunt director, he slapped her, the actress, for the first time, opened up about the incident.

Following advice from well-wishers, she filed a complaint with the police, but justice eluded her. Attempts to bring the matter to the attention of the actors' guild also proved futile.

She asserted that the then actors' guild chief instructed her to overlook the issue and move on. This incident prompted her to exit the film industry and find solace in married life.

The confession comes at a time when the Tamil film industry is witnessing a major controversy after actor Mansoor Ali Khan made a controversial comment against Trisha Krishnan.

In an interview, Khan had said that he had signed Vijay's 'Leo' believing that he would get "bedroom" scenes with Trisha, but the makers did not even show her on the sets.

"When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought that I could carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes in a number of movies and it's not new to me. But these guys didn't even show Trisha to me on the sets during the Kashmir schedule," ANI quoted him as saying.
