Indraxi Kanjilal Makes Shocking Allegations Against Ujjwal Sharma

In a heartbreaking revelation, actress Indraxi Kanjilal, known for her role in Pushpa Impossible, has openly alleged that Sanchita Ugale was subjected to mental harassment by their Saajan Ghar co-star, Ujjwal Sharma. Kanjilal claimed that the harassment occurred during their time working together on the show, where Sharma reportedly borrowed money from Sanchita, insulted her, and even threatened to physically harm her.

Speaking to Telly Chakkar, Indraxi said, "Ujjwal had apparently borrowed money from Sanchita and later behaved rudely with her. When he asked him to return the money, he lashed out, humiliated her and even threatened to hit her. I have screenshots of their chats where he used inappropriate language and insulted her."

These allegations come as a stark contradiction to earlier statements made by Ujjwal Sharma, who had reportedly linked Sanchita's emotional state to a past relationship. Indraxi Kanjilal vehemently denied these claims, stating she was “appalled” by his remarks and asserted that Sharma was not close enough to Sanchita to possess such personal information. Kanjilal questioned why Ujjwal chose to speak about Sanchita's love life instead of addressing the trauma he allegedly inflicted upon her. She maintained that Sanchita was neither depressed nor affected by her past relationship, having known her for a long time.
