Daisy Shah Says South Filmmaker Touched Her Inappropriately During Early Mumbai Casting Meeting

Her account shows how some actors protect careers by setting boundaries without naming alleged abusers.

Overview

  • Daisy Shah, in a Free Press Journal interview Thursday, described being inappropriately touched by a South filmmaker during Mumbai auditions early in her career.
  • She says he met six or seven women one-on-one and held her hand, which made her uneasy.
  • She did not identify the filmmaker or file a complaint, and she chose to end contact after the meeting.
  • Shah says the incident taught her not to meet people alone and that she avoids touch, even skipping massages.
  • In the same interview, she pushed back on claims her success rests only on Salman Khan, calling industry help a chain of support.
