Minissha Lamba is too scared to answer unknown numbers on her cell phone these days.
For the last three days the actress has been getting calls from two undisclosed numbers (one international and the other Indian), threatening her against attending an Indo-American cultural event in New York.
Says Minissha, "It started on Saturday, when I received the first spate of calls from both numbers. At first, I answered the phone and both callers said the same thing... 'Don't attend the event in New York'."
Indian affair
The actress is flummoxed as she explains, "If it was a political event or maybe a cultural event in a hostile country, I'd understand.
But why shouldn't I attend an innocuous dinner event in New York meant to bring together NRIs and Indian personalities? It makes no sense."
The matter has now been reported to the cops, and the Indian number has already been traced to a public phone booth in Haryana.
"Would you believe it, they're absolutely blas © about it. When my business managers threatened to report the matter to the senior cops in Haryana, they said, 'Do what you like' and hung up."
Minissha is now not so sure she should go to New York. "I don't scare easily, and I am certainly not scared. But I am curious and suspicious.
Why would I be threatened against going to a cultural event in New York? I've to get to the bottom of this, " she says.
