Talking about it, she said, “I think in any industry where there are men, a lot of men are going to try. This industry is not any different. I definitely have faced things like the person not confirming for the film and saying, ‘Why don’t you meet for dinner? Let’s talk.’ And I am like, ‘No, why don’t we meet in the office? I don’t know about dinner but I am definitely free, we can set up a time and meet in the office tomorrow if you want to discuss further.’”

Continuing further, Minissha added, “I have handled it like that. It has not happened much to me to my face. But whenever it has happened, I have handled it in a way where I have pretended not to understand what you are saying.”

When she was asked if they stopped calling her for work when she insisted on keeping things strictly professional. “Yes, one or two times, it happened. And then those projects didn’t take off only,” she concluded.
