I was climbing stairs and maybe my top may have moved a bit, and I felt a hand around my waist. I suddenly jumped and I just looked at him and asked, 'What did you just do?' He had just brushed through it. Everybody was stunned because it was a big name. He said, 'Nothing, your top was…' I stopped him and said, 'it is none of your business. How dare you touch me here? You can't do it.' Everybody was like, 'Iska role gaya'.'

During that journey, I was playing cards with this little boy. When we went to sleep, I noticed a hand around me, I quickly held on to it and when I saw it, I realised it was the same boy. He ran to the train's basin and started to wash his face when I confronted him. He started to cry. Because he was a kid, I didn't want to shame him.' She added, 'There was this another producer who would often ask me to join him for drinks and dinner. One day, I decided to go see him while everybody else was waiting to see what I would do. I opened his room and kept the door open and asked him, 'Sir, you are my father's age, why are you speaking to me like this? What is your problem?' I kept looking into his eyes. He started to behave awkwardly.' Amruta said she lost many roles because she refused to sleep with people in exchange for wok. 'I didn't compromise', said Amruta.
