Tele show producer Binaifer Kohli has been accused by popular television actress Shilpa Shinde for mental torture. Shilpa has also filed sexual harassment case against Sanjay Kohli. Now, an another tv actress Sameksha has said that even she has suffered harassment from Binaifer, the reason she has come out in support of Shilpa. 

The actress was quoted saying, "Zaara was my first TV show and at that time I didn’t know how the industry functioned. But the atmosphere on the sets was very bad. The director Pawan Sahu would use a lot of abusive language and when we complained to Binaifer, she would say, this is how it is. The director on his part told us that he was instructed by Binaifer to treat actors like that else they will ‘sit on your head’. Also, she would take our close-ups for 10 days and then use a body double to shoot the scene. That way she would reduce the number of days of our shoot and save money. The performance would suffer because of that." 

She also said, "If she had to pay Rs 10 lakh she would give only Rs 2 lakh and say ‘take this if not you won’t even get that’. She would say the TRPs are low or the payment hasn’t come from the channel. I had even gone to CINTAA, but she falsely blamed me saying I had torn the clothes on the sets. She even showed a news paper cutting to the effect. Till date I haven’t got my dues. Even my co-actors have suffered and are willing to talk about it. After a year of this harassment I quit the show telling her to find my replacement." 

About meeting with Shilpa, she said, "Shilpa thanked me, but I told her I am doing it because even I have gone through the trauma." 

On the other hand Binaifer denied all the accusations, "I was very fond of Sameksha and had a good working relationship with her. If she found any issues with the director, she should have brought it to my notice then. Also, I have paid her all her dues. Besides, everybody is well-behaved on my sets. I am surprised that she is saying this now."
