New Delhi: Actress Flora Saini, who has worked in ‘Stree’ and Alt Balaji show ‘Gandii Baat’, recently opened up about domestic violence and sexual harassment she faced from her ex-boyfriend Gaurang Doshi in 2007.
In a conversation with News18, Flora recalled the horrible experience and also compared a few similarities with the recent Shraddha Walker murder case. “I left my home because of him, at the time when my mom had said not to leave the house and neglect my work, but I didn’t listen to her. He was so sweet in the beginning. So good that my parents were also fooled that he is such a nice guy. But slowly, your parents see the red flags. In Shraddha’s case as well, the same happened. They first cut you out from your family. I also left my home, and within a week of moving in with him, I was being bashed up. I couldn’t understand why he was beating me up suddenly, because in my eyes he was a really nice guy,” she told News 18.
She also said that her ex had taken away her phone so that she could not call anyone. She also revealed that whenever she tried to leave, he threatened her that he would kill her parents and her.
“One night, he’d beaten me so much that I had a fractured jaw. He took his father’s picture and warned me saying I swear on my father that I will kill you tonight. When he turned back to keep the photo frame back, in that fraction of a second, my mom’s voice echoed in my ears that at such a moment you will have to run - bas bhaag, mat soch ki kapde pehne hai ya nahi, paise hain ya nahi, bas bhaag (run and don’t think if you have clothes on or not, If you have the money or not, run for your life). I ran to my home and I decided that I’m never going back,” she was quoted as saying by News 18.
Flora had earlier spoken about her ordeal in 2018 during the MeToo movement.
