Neha Maheshwri Bhagat (BOMBAY TIMES; December 2, 2014)

Actress Gauahar Khan is shaken up after a guy from the audience went up to the stage and slapped her during the finale shoot of TV show India's Raw Star at Filmcity.

Gauahar refused to comment on the incident, saying, “The matter is legal and I can't comment on it.“ Her boyfriend actor Kushal Tandon, however, said, “What happened is disgusting. It is the production house's fault as it's their responsibility to ensure the security of the cast and crew. I feel the security wasn't tight enough or else how would a guy just walk up to a celebrity like this? What if he had a knife or acid in hand? There should have been bouncers on the stage. We are going to take it up strongly; we will not leave this guy!“

Meanwhile, the accused, 24-year-old Mohammed Akil Mallik, has been arrested by the police. A source from the production house said, “He admitted that he was observing Gauahar since three days. He said he was upset because of the short dresses that she wore to the shoot.“
