The ‘Pavitra Rishta’ star shared how she stood up to the guy.
While sharing the incident, Asha told Hautterfly, “This was some coordinator during that time, some random guy. I ended up meeting. I’m glad that we met and he started talking about television mein ye voh, and I was in my early 20s. He was almost trying to brainwash me that this is what happens and this is how you will grow. He told me, jitne bhi bade TV actors hai, all have done it.”
The ‘Ludo’ revealed that she told the guy she was not interested in working if things worked that way.
The actress also recalled an eve-teasing incident when she was in school and was scared to take her stand at that time.

I felt terrible for making my parents hear about it.”
