Mumbai: TV actor Rashmi Desai, who created waves in the season 13 of Bigg Boss, has opened up on her personal life and struggle that she had to face being a novice to industry norms.
In a tell-all interview with a webloid, Rashmi has spoken about the various lesser-known aspect of her life including being molested at the age of 6.
Recalling the horrible incident, Rashmi said, "In the bus where you don't get space to sit, Baithne ki Jagah nahi milti aapko, there was one uncle who tried in a bad way to touch me when I was six or seven."
The Dil Se Dil Tak star made another shocking admission when she narrated her casting couch experience at the age of 16.

"When I started my career 13 years ago, I was very young and from a completely non-filmy background. I didn't know anyone from the industry. I still remember that I was told if you don't go through casting couch, you won't get work. His name is Suraj and I don't know where he's now. First time we met, he asked me about my statistics and I didn't know what it meant back then. I told him I don't know and he knew that she's completely unaware of things. He was the first person who tried taking advantage of me and tried to molest me in some or the other way," said Rashmi.
Rashmi also said that her failed marriage with Uttaran co-star Nandish Sandhu led to a period of depression.
"I was going through depression as never wanted it (divorce) to happen. I never wanted the separation from whom I loved the most and I tried my level best. When it didn't work out I realised that it's better for both of us as individuals," she said.
Rashmi and Nandish met on the sets of Uttaran and, according to reports, the two dated for a while before tying the knot in 2012. A year later, news about them having troubles in their marital life started doing the rounds and their marriage broke in just four years.
