She became disturbed and was unable to sleep. Singh then decided to confront the situation head-on. “Phir mera sardaarni vala dimaag satka. His office was in Bandra and the next morning, I went there. He was having a meeting with three to four people. His secretary asked me to wait outside but I didn’t. I barged in and abused him in front of those people in Punjabi for nearly five minutes continuously,” Singh recalled.

Although she felt proud to stand up for herself, Singh admitted that the incident deeply troubled her. “I remembered that I had informed a lot of people that I had signed the film with Anil. I couldn’t stop crying while walking on the footpath,” Upasana Singh said.
