Actress Ditipriya Roy, known for her role in Chirodini Tumi Je Amar, has brought serious allegations against her co-star Jeetu Kamal, citing inappropriate messages and behaviour. The matter surfaced after Roy issued a public statement on Instagram, detailing incidents that left her uncomfortable and explaining why she had remained silent until now.
The production house involved in the show has yet to issue a formal response.
Social media post sparks speculation
The issue began with a photograph shared on social media by Jeetu Kamal, which Roy claims she personally found inappropriate. She stated that the image was provided by the production team for promotional use, but one specific picture made her uneasy. She conveyed her discomfort to the team and not to Jeetu directly.
Despite this, Jeetu reportedly mentioned in several interviews that the photo received negative comments and that Ditipriya was hurt by it something she denies ever discussing with him. According to Roy, this misrepresentation added to her discomfort. 'I never said anything about receiving obscene comments,' she clarified.
She further noted that when she expressed her concerns about the image, the focus shifted to criticisms about her professionalism. She was told she couldn't handle things "spontaneously," and her discomfort was dismissed as an overreaction.
Ditipriya details alleged messages
In her statement, Roy elaborated on interactions with Jeetu that went beyond professional boundaries. She claimed that Jeetu stopped speaking to her directly and communicated only through WhatsApp. His messages, she said, included personal remarks and inappropriate jokes.
Among the examples shared by Roy were instances where Jeetu asked, "Are you pregnant?" after she mentioned a doctor's appointment. She also said he sent her an AI-generated image of them kissing with a caption suggesting she forward it to her boyfriend. In another message, he reportedly asked her to keep their conversation hidden from her mother, saying, 'I'm scared of her.'
While Roy initially tried to dismiss the comments as jokes, she eventually found them troubling. 'These incidents made me uncomfortable over time. Many people on the set are aware of what happened,' she stated.
Roy speaks out after weeks of silence
Roy, 22, explained that she stayed quiet for some time in hopes of maintaining peace at work. 'I didn't want the show to suffer,' she said, adding that her decision to finally speak out came from a refusal to tolerate disrespect.
She also mentioned that other actors on set have had similar experiences with Jeetu, though she did not name them.
When Indiatimes reached out to Ditipriya's manager he added 'This has been going on for weeks. We will sit with everyone from the production team to the technical crew to discuss the issue. Our aim is resolution, and we're not saying she doesn't want to work. The point is to speak up against harassment and disrespect. We might consider legal options or negotiations, but for now, we are trying to resolve it internally. She is still shooting.'

Indiatimes also spoke to Jeetu Kamal who added, 'I did not post anything in the first place. Later, I had to post for my protection, for my clarification and so on. I come from a respected background myself, everyone was raising their fingers towards me. I have my own parents and hence I had to give a counter and for this reason I posted on my official account to explain the scenario from my end. I did not expect this kind of work from Ditipriya as she herself is very talented and educated. I don't know for what reason she has done this. She is a child and very kiddish.'
As of now these allegations show a tense standoff, where Ditipriya accuses of harassment, Jeetu refutes claims and any mediation or legal action may follow.
