Aashka Goradia: “My Sexuality Was Intentionally Misrepresented”

TV actress Aashka Goradia says her sexuality was portrayed in a wrong way which in turn embarrassed her in front of her parents.

On Zee TV’s “JuzzBaatt… Sangeen Se Namkeen Tak“, Aashka and actress Juhi Parmar opened up about their journeys in the industry.

“My sexuality was portrayed in a wrong way. I was intentionally made to come across as a lesbian on this reality show through editing tricks and it was extremely embarrassing for me and my parents. I was rubbing balm on a sick fellow inmate’s body after she had broken into an allergic reaction,” said Aashka in a statement to IANS.

“I was putting my hand inside her blanket so as not to embarrass her about her rash on national television and they made it look like something else was going on. At that point, I was inside the house as per the show’s format and wasn’t even around to defend myself. When my mother visited me, she told me about how I was being depicted in the media and how everyone had started questioning my sexuality,” she added.
