Ameesha Patel has reportedly said that she was "scared for her safety."
In an interview with a TV channel, Patel shared, "I was so scared for my life and for the team of people that were with me that I had no choice but to quietly play along till I safely reached Bombay. Even I arrived back last evening in Mumbai, he started sending threatening calls and messages and asking me to speak highly of him as I had been honest about my terrible experience with him." When Prakash made her miss an evening flight, Patel shared, "Instead he kept me in the village and threatened to leave me there if I didn't agree and go along".
Patel concluded, "But when I reached Mumbai, I had to let the world know the truth. I could have been raped and killed. My car was surrounded at all times by his people and they would refuse to let my car move till I didn't do as he said. He trapped me. And put my life in danger. This was his way of operating."
