According to her, Ghai began complimenting her appearance, calling her laugh beautiful and describing her as “very sexy.” She said these remarks, made in the presence of her boyfriend, left her uneasy.
She further alleged that Ghai followed her to the washroom. “As soon as I came out, Subhash ji entered that room. There came a point when he came so close that I was completely shocked. His eyes were closed. When I moved aside, his lips touched my cheek. He kissed me and I told my boyfriend that he was about to kiss me on the lips,” she claimed.
Nehal said the incident left her in shock and also ended her relationship with her boyfriend. “I told him, ‘Where have you brought me? You are his manager, meaning you already knew all these things.’ I broke up with my boyfriend after that. He was not worth trusting,” she said.
