When a friend misbehaved with Ranjini Haridas

She further shared another incident in which an actor misbehaved with her by demanding her explicit pictures. Mentioning that she considered the actor her friend until then, Ranjini alleged that he asked her for a shirtless picture after sending one of himself to her.

She continued, “He is an actor we all know; he was a very good friend of mine as well. Once, a very disturbing incident took place. Generally, I am not someone who gets very close to everyone. One day, that person sent me a shirtless picture of himself and asked me to send a similar photo in return. I asked him, ‘What is wrong with you?'”
