Hidden camera

Kriti said, “There was this one incident that I remember when I was shooting for one of my Kannada films. This boy, who used to work at the hotel. He actually left a camera in my room. My staff and me, we have this habit of checking around to make sure nothing is popping out from anywhere. He was obviously not a pro because it was kept so badly. I could see it, he had kept it behind the set-top box. It is scary, the kind of stuff you have to be careful about. Not flowery at all.”

When a man pinched her

She also recalled the time when she called out a man for touching her inappropriately while getting a picture clicked with her and he pinched her so hard that she had a blood clot. “It is very disturbing, but it happens and happens many times. And he ran (after the pinch), I did not know how to react. I was in shock, I was taken aback,” she said.

When a biker whacked her

Kriti also opened up about a time when a biker whacked her on her bottom and she fell on a Bengaluru street while the biker went ahead like nothing happened. She could not even tell her parents about it for months, she added. She also said that the pinch really scarred her.
