The Email Proposition
In an interview with Hauterrfly, Barkha recalled receiving an email that asked her to 'compromise' for a role in a South Indian film. She explained that someone sent this message to her email, mentioning details such as the number of shooting days required and that her vitals should be at least 36, implying that compromise was necessary. The fact that this was put in writing indicated the sender was comfortable with the proposition.
However, the sender did not specify with whom she was supposed to compromise.
Incident Within This Decade
She mentioned that the incident wasn't very old but had occurred within this decade. Barkha explained that although such things have happened, no one has ever confronted it directly. Because she is aware that this kind of situation exists, she remains very cautious and makes a strong effort to avoid getting into such circumstances.
