We have often seen celebrities and other industry people coming to the forefront and open-up about the casting couch. We saw a lot of names popping up during the #MeToo wave when victims called out the predators of industry who have had been s*xually assaulted. Amidst all this, recently, TV’s celebrated designer Rohit Verma opened up about being s*xually assaulted by one of his family relatives. Not only that, he also opened up about working as a prostitute to fulfill his daily needs.

The designer has been a part of Bigg Boss 3 and later rose to fame with his work in different interviews where he spoke about the dark sides of the industry.

Speaking to Siddharth Kanan, the celebrity designer Rohit Verma shared an anecdote from his childhood and opened up about facing se*ual abuse. He told the host, “I am from a very good family. But my family members are of very old ideas. Even though I was born in a good family, I was sexually abused in my childhood by my real uncle. I was r*ped by my own uncle at the age of eight. He used to make me wear a sari, put hot wax on my body and do more horrific abusive acts. All this went on for three to four years. I never told my parents about this because of fear’.”
