The entertainment world has also had a scandal with an actress accusing another actress called Tanjin Tisha of sexual abuse during the shooting of an upcoming Eid drama. The case was brought to the attention of the general public when Samia went live on social media and told her side of the story. This is some up-to-date breakdown of the occurrences, the statements that were made, and where we are at this point by each party.
Allegation of Facebook live by Samia Othoi
In a Facebook Live, Samia Othoi asserted that she was physically abused during one of the filming scenes requiring her to slap. She says that the script involved her giving Tanjin Tisha a slight slap in the process of acting. Nevertheless, she claimed that Tisha acted back by administering dull sturdy hits to her that were not part of the practicing or anticipating.
According to Samia, the incident led to both overt and subtle swelling in her face, as well as an emotionally distressed person. She even indicated that this was not the first occasion, when she felt unsafe on the set. In the live session, she complained and indicated that she would want to be held responsible over what she termed as unsuitable behavior.
Tanjin Tisha’s Reaction
The allegations were later to be addressed by Tanjin Tisha. She rejected the idea that she was out to hurt her co-actor and that the same scene was carried out in the context of the script. In the opinion of Tisha, any physical contact was done in the exhibition of her character and not to harm her in real life.
She also added that she has kept on shooting on the scene, and that she does not want to cause production line disturbance. As a response to the case being misrepresented, Tisha focused on the fact that the act was not a personal intention and she stated that the situation was inaccurately portrayed.
What the Director said about the Slapping Scene?
Further clarification was given by the director Md Rafat Majumder Rinku. He affirmed that the scene where he slapped the woman was in fact in the script and that both the actors made prior understanding of the same.
Apparently, the director says it seems to have been an error in the process of enacting the scene rather than intentionally harming anyone. According to him, at times there is the possibility of over-charged emotions particularly when the actors are highly invested in playing the roles. He further said that it was trying to pacify the situation on set.
Was the Media a Misjudgment or More?
There are varying versions of events in this stage. Samia Othoi believes that the slap was more than professional but Tanjin Tisha believes that it was a part of the scripted condition. The statement made by the director is inclined to the fact that this event is a tragic misunderstanding in shooting the movie.
No action in regard to law has been confirmed and it is unclear as to whether any formal industry action will take the issue. The case itself seems to be a continuous and divided opinion of people.
