Mandana Karimi Breaks Down Talking About Her Affair With Bollywood Director Who Got Her Pregnant
Mandana Karimi was in a relationship with a Bollywood director who got her pregnant. He asked her to get an abortion because he was not ready to be a father again.
Kangana Ranaut and controversies go side by side. The actress who never minces words and isn't afraid of anyone usually grabs headlines. Now that she is hosting Lock Upp, the show is too making news every day.
In Sunday's episode, contestant Mandana Karimi revealed her deepest darkest secret in order to stay safe from eviction and made everyone including Kangana Ranaut emotional.
Mandana revealed her affair with one of the most sought-after directors in the industry. "The time that I was struggling with my whole situation¡my separation, I did have a secret relationship."
She, however, chose not to reveal the name of the director and said, "My relationship was with a very well-known director who talks about women's rights and independence of women in the outside world, how a woman should be strong."
Furthermore, the actor says in the promo, "He is an idol to many people from young generation, aspiring filmmakers, and even teenagers because he has a strong image of coming from zero and becoming someone, having no parents, and becoming someone. My relationship with him was very secretive because I was not yet divorced and after all that I went through, he made me feel he could be that friend."
Mandana Karimi said she was in a live-in relationship with him. "During the lockdown, we even started living together and he'd tell me he loved me. I started calling him my partner and he started saying he loved me."
She continued, "We planned pregnancy but when it happened, he completely backed off and his reason was that he did not think he was emotionally ready to become a father again. He already has a child. Suddenly he was like 'I did not believe you could get pregnant so easily at the age of 33. We then went to my best friend's house because he said we should discuss with them as they are like my parents."
Mandana said that he even tried to get her friends to convince her to have an abortion. He would tell her " you should have understood my ex is not over me and there is a public case against me".
Hearing this, Kangana Ranaut got emotional too.
