Avneet Kaur reveals harrowing incident from childhood

In an interview with Hautterfly, Avneet stated, “This director gave me a very heavy monologue with heavy words, which is had to say. Now, I was very scared because I was 11 or 12 and I fumbled 2-3 times. That’s when he switched on his mic and started speaking harshly. He said that I wasn’t capable of doing anything and that I would never succeed in this industry. He even abused me verbally”.

She further said, “I was very confused because my parents were not allowed on set. I went to my parents and told them everything, and my self-confidence broke as an actor. Once, during dance rehearsals, there was a spot or someone who touched here and there. At the time, I told my mother about it and she explained good and bad touch to me. Since then, I was well prepared for such things”.
