Umesh asked Zoya to give a ‘nude audition’ via WhatsApp instead of taking the audition at office, claiming he is out of town. He continued to call her even when she refused to agree to his requests.
While Zoya refused to give the ‘nude audition’ without knowing the script, Umesh continued to pursue her to accept the offer. Kamat offered her Rs twenty thousand per day so that she agrees to work in adult films. He flooded Zoya with calls till the time of his arrest.
Zoya said that a person named Roy (it can be his fake name), who used to work for HotShots, also called her regarding the same.
According to Zoya, Roy claimed to be UK-based. He said that he was making nude web series for HotShots on an international level, which would feature full nudity. He told her the actress would get Rs 70,000 per day if she agrees to work with him.
When Zoya declined the offer, Roy asked her why she had qualms in doing nude web series when she has already featured in bold films. The actress was inundated with calls and messages after she decided not to take up the offer. Zoya told ABP News that Roy claimed to be UK-based but the set-up related to nude web series was based in Singapore.
The actress also said that she worked with Tash Thakur in a bold show for Newflix app. After taking a break in 2017, she made her comeback with ‘Malikana Haq’ with Yash Thakur in 2020. She said that she had no idea about Thakur being associated with Raj Kundra.
Zoya came to know that Umesh Kamat used to work for Raj Kundra after the 45-year-old businessman was arrested in an alleged pornography case. She has worked in TV shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Saubhagyavati Bhava and Fear Files. Rathor started working in bold films and series after 2011.
