Soni Razdan Opens Up: Someone Tried To Rape Me On A Film’s Shoot

Alia Bhatt’s mother, Soni Razdan, who has also worked in famous Bollywood films and television serials, is the latest one to speak about her horrid story. In an exclusive chat with The Quint, Alia Bhatt’s mother has narrated an incident which left a scar in her mind forever. The Raazi actress has revealed that although she has been lucky in not facing sexual harassment when she approached people for work but she has had her share of trauma.

“Like there was an incident that happened to me when I was on a film shoot and somebody tried to rape me, for example that kind of thing. Luckily they didn’t succeed.” Soni told the portal.

The senior actress further talks about the reason she never opened up about the incident to anyone. “You know the only reason I never said anything at that time and it sounds really odd maybe but I realised if I would have opened my mouth that person would have gone through a lot of problems. He had family, small children. And at that time I said, ok, nothing really happened, I managed to control it but obviously I never spoke to that person again. I did not, not talk about it because of any shame or anything like that. I felt that I would be hurting his family, whom I knew. But I don’t know if today it would have happened, I don’t think I would have done the same thing. I wouldn’t have been that magnanimous, I would have complained about it I think.”

Razdan is a close friend of Vinta Nanda, who has accused Alok Nath of raping her 19 years back. She has also worked with Alok and has witnessed his bad behaviour several times. “I have seen him behave very very, I would say lecherously after he has been drunk. Even at one time, I wouldn’t say he made a pass at me but I didn’t like the way he was looking at me.” Soni said.
