A few days ago, TV actress Malvi Malhotra was attacked and stabbed with a knife after she refused a man's marriage proposal. The accused, identified as Yogesh Mahipal Singh, is a producer, and had met Malhotra thrice before on professional grounds.
Talking about the attack, Malvi Malhotra spoke to ETimes from the hospital where she's being treated. The 29-year-old shared, "I had just come from Dubai, I was there for 15 days. I thought the harassment would stop. But Yogesh stalked me on the phone even there, and even when I blocked him, he was at it from different numbers. After my meeting which happened at a cafe in Seven Bunglows (Andheri), I was walking back home since my home is just 5 minutes away from that coffee shop. Suddenly, Yogesh came in a car and said that I should talk to him and why I was avoiding him."
