On-screen marital bed of Bollywood damsel Shweta Konnur turned into the bed of thorns when Tollywood comedian Rajendra Prasad "physically assaulted" her on the sets of Telugu film Appa Rao Driving School.
Recalling the horrifc scene Shweta says,"It was a first-night scene between Rajendra Prasad and me. There was a bed with translucent curtains around it. So nobody could clearly see what was going on. The director asked me to just lie down on the bed."
"The hero and I were meant to make it look like something was going on between us. "On the first take, he was OK and didn't do anything. But during the second take he pecked me on the lips.
The starlet who was last seen in 'Darna Mana Hai' became so infuriated that she walked out of the sets and even flew to Mumbai by the first available flight.
Parasad however refutes all the claims by Shweta and narrates, "It was an accidental moment. I was instructed to get more intimate for this scene. While turning my face, my lips brushed against hers. I've introduced 34 heroines in my 26 years. I don't have a single remark against me."
On her way back home Shweta also accused some crew members of demanding sexual favours
from her. "There were hints from even the co-actor and the director," she fumed. "They offered more footage and also another song," she laments.
