She explained that after hearing the allegations, she decided to accompany the family to the employer’s residence. However, the situation allegedly turned tense when they reached the location. “When we went there, they initially refused to let her meet us. They kept saying she didn’t want to leave, but we wanted to hear it directly from her,” Sambhavna recalled.

Sambhavna further alleged that the employer attempted to intimidate them and warned of consequences if they continued pursuing the matter.

The actress added that the experience left her shaken and highlighted the vulnerability of many domestic workers who may silently endure exploitation.
