Shivangi Joshi recalls alleged molestation by her uncle
Recalling her childhood, the 28-year-old actor revealed that a man she called "Mama Ji," whom her mother trusted like a brother, allegedly molested her under the pretext of teaching her to drive. She said, “At that time, he used to tell my mom that he would pick me up from school. In the beginning, he used to tell me that since you are going to Bombay for acting, you need to learn how to drive a car. He used to ask me to sit in his lap and hold the steering wheel, saying, ‘You will learn it.’ I used to sit in his lap, and mujhe samajh nahi aata tha ki kya ho raha hai and with what intentions. I used to do it, but I didn’t like it, so I told him that I didn’t want to learn anymore.”
