Dirty act during the audition
Sreelekha said that this incident is from 2009 when she had come for the audition of Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha. After 15 years, srilekha has publicly broken her silence about that incident.
Sreelekha said - called me to his room
Sreelekha has accused Ranjit in an interview given to a tv channel. According to indian Express, srilekha said, 'The filmmaker called me to his bedroom. The bedroom was dark and there was a balcony. And during the conversation, he touched my bangles and pretended he did not know anything. I became a little uncomfortable with this, but tried to continue the conversation.'
Started caressing my neck
Sreelekha further said, 'Seeing that I was not reacting, he started caressing my neck, and also touched my body. Which was not tolerable. I apologized and left the room. It was traumatic and I could not share this incident with anyone. After the incident, I stayed in the hotel out of fear, thinking what would happen if 10 people came and knocked on my door? I was waiting for the morning. It was not shocking, but I know how the film industry works on a large scale. There are good and bad people.'
Ranjit rejected Srilekha's allegations
Filmmaker Ranjit also responded to Srilekha's allegations. He rejected the actress' allegations and said, 'Film producer Shankar Ramakrishnan and others were present.

If she takes any legal action, it will be responded to in the same manner.
