'I was trembling', Kajal Aggarwal recalls Assistant Director entering her caravan without permission

Actor Kajal Aggarwal has revealed a disturbing fan encounter that left her "trembling" on a film set, saying an assistant director entered her caravan without permission while she was alone and unexpectedly removed his shirt to show a tattoo of her name.

Speaking to ABP News, Kajal recalled that the incident happened after she had wrapped up a shoot and was resting in her caravan.

"A person working as an assistant director suddenly entered my caravan without taking permission. He immediately took off his shirt and showed me a tattoo of my name on his chest. I was so shocked that my hands and legs started trembling," she said.

While Kajal appreciated the admiration behind the tattoo, she made it clear that crossing personal boundaries was unacceptable.

"I was happy that he had gotten my name tattooed on his body. However, it was completely inappropriate for him to enter when a woman was alone without taking permission. No matter how big a fan someone is, such behaviour is unacceptable," she said, adding that she warned him such actions could invite criminal consequences before asking him to leave.

The actor also talked about her career choices, explaining why she prioritised South cinema over Bollywood.

Kajal said she consistently received stronger roles in the South and chose quality over quantity, adding that language was never a barrier for her.

Comparing work cultures, she said Bollywood could learn punctuality from the South film industry.

She even revealed that Salman Khan made her wait the longest on a film set, saying she would spend the time working out while waiting for him to arrive.

Kajal also noted that South cinema has evolved in the way it writes female characters. "They are no longer obsessed with female navels. I always drew the line. You are not throwing fruits on my navel, boss!" she quipped.

Kajal Aggarwal will next be seen as Mandodari in Nitesh Tiwari's ‘Ramayana Part 1’.
