Overview
- Dhanjani described on the Two Girls & Two Cups podcast how, at about 20, a casting director singled him out from an audition line in Mumbai’s Aram Nagar.
- He said the man led him to a locked, dark stairwell presented as an office after name-dropping clients to appear influential.
- According to Dhanjani, the man touched him during the meeting, he froze in fear, and he managed to leave.
- He recounted breaking down before a friend and nearly quitting acting after the incident, which the friend downplayed as common in the industry.
- News reports of the disclosure do not name the alleged perpetrator or note any legal complaint, and Dhanjani, now a well-known TV host, called for predators to be caught and for victims to speak up.
