Cinema VinesActor Saanvie Tallwar has publicly accused fellow television star Karan Kundrra of forcibly kissing her and later slapping her during the production of the TV series Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum. According to Tallwar, the incident occurred while filming a scene that required a kiss, but the director had not yet called “action.” She claims Kundrra touched her without permission and, after the scene, struck her hard, saying, “How can you touch me without my permission. He didn’t react at that time, but then he came back in sometime and slapped me hard.” Tallwar says the slap was severe enough that she fell to the floor and felt “abused” by the actor and his family, and that she received no support from the crew.
In a later interview with Filmibeat, Tallwar explained that the situation was eventually resolved when producer Ekta Kapoor intervened. She says Kapoor apologized on Kundrra’s behalf and offered support, which helped “make things easy.” Tallwar also noted that the show’s director was replaced following the incident, as she felt both Kundrra and the director disliked her reserved on‑set behaviour.
Tallwar further alleged that after informing Kundrra’s then‑girlfriend, Anusha Dandekar, about his interest in her, the environment on set became hostile. She says that the director deliberately did not call “cut” during a later romantic scene, and after she raised the issue, another director was also replaced. She reports that two directors were replaced during the run of the show.
Despite the alleged misconduct, Tallwar states that she does not hold ill feelings toward Kundrra. She says she has reflected on the events and does not wish to dwell on the uncomfortable experiences she claims to have faced. Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum premiered in 2015, starring Kundrra and Tallwar in the lead roles, and was produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.
