Actress and Social Media Influencer Avneet Kaur has been a part of the entertainment industry for over a decade, even though she is just 23 years old. Recently, Kaur made a shocking revelation, that she was inappropriately touched when she was only 8.

Kaur, who is also a dancer, she recalled that she was touched inappropriately at the age of 8 during dance rehearsals. She said, “Once, during dance rehearsals, there was a spot or someone who touched here and there… at the time, I told my mother about this… then my mom told me that beta, this is bad touch, this is good touch and whatever. You have to understand that this happens. I am telling you this from back when I was eight years old. And since then, I was well prepared for such things.”

The actress also talked about how she learned to deal with criticism at a very early age because she was abused by a director when she was just 11. She said, “There was this one incident from the time when I was struggling, and it really scared me. I was just starting out, and this director gave me a very heavy monologue with heavy words, which I had to say. Now, I was very scared, because I was 11 or 12, and I fumbled 2-3 times, which is when he switched on his mic and started speaking harshly. He said that I wasn’t capable of doing anything and that I would never succeed in this industry. He even abused me verbally. I was very confused because my parents were not allowed on set. I went to my parents and told them everything and my self-confidence broke as an actor.”

At certain shoots, Avneet’s parents were not allowed on sets with her, this also affected her self confidence. “I was very confused because my parents were not allowed on set. I went to my parents and told them everything and my self-confidence broke as an actor. After that, I got to know that he was doing the same thing to other actresses also, like big names, he did the same with them.”

Avneet Kaur began her career as a child artist, and worked in many TV shows and reality shows. She even starred in the Bollywood film ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’ alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui. She also walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for her upcoming film ‘Love in Vietnam’.
