But her father told me that she is not engaged to anyone…I came to know that they were going to file a sexual harassment case against me…If I had known this, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with her and followed her around.”

Nithya told during an interview that, she went through all these when her mom was recovering from cancer.

Nithya said that he has been harassing her for a long time. She said Santosh spoke about her publicly. he has been bothering her for about 6 years.

I have shown incredible patience despite everyone asking me to file a police complaint. He would call my parents on their phones. Finally, even they had to raise their voice after losing their patients. He would always call even when my mother was recovering from cancer…,” she said.
