Daisy Irani, the veteran actress, who was best known for her roles as a child star of the 1950s, recently revealed that she was raped at an outdoor shoot of the film Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke in Madras when she was just six years old.
Irani narrated the horrific incident and said, “The man who did this was supposed to be my guardian. One night in the hotel room he violated me, hit me with a belt and warned me that he would kill me if I ever told anyone about what had happened.”
Irani asserted that after the incident, she became really protective of her sisters Honey Irani (mother of Farhan and Zoya Akhtar) and Menka Irani (mother of Farah and Sajid Khan).
Irani expressed that she broke her silence after so many years because she wanted parents and guardians to be more protective towards children who were working in films and television.
