Guardian raped actress Daisy Irani at 6: Report

New Delhi : Talking to a leading daily, actress Daisy Irani said she was raped during an outdoor shoot by her guardian at an early age of six.

"The man who did this was supposed to be my guardian. He accompanied me to a film shoot (Hum Panchhi Ek Dal Ke) in Madras. One night in the hotel room he violated me, hit me with a belt and warned me that he would kill me if I ever told anyone about what had happened," she told Mumbai Mirror.

Recalling the incident and threats given to her by the man, Daisy said she went on the sets of the film next day as if nothing had happened.

"That man is dead and gone. His name was Nazar. He was related to the famous singer Zohrabai Ambalewaali. Obviously, he had contacts in the film industry. My mother was hell-bent on making me a star," Daisy Irani added.

She revealed her misery to alert parents of the child artists as they are at a greater risk compared to the adult ones.

Daisy Irani was last seen in movies like Happy New Year, Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi and Housefull.
