A well-known actress, who is the cousin of a Bollywood star, has filed a complaint at Oshiwara Police Station against an interior decorator saying he pushed her and also verbally abused and threatened her. The Oshiwara police have registered an offence but no arrests have been made.

According to the complaint, the 35-year-old actress had hired the interior designer for her new apartment at Veera Desai Road.

The complaint said that in the first week of July when she visited the apartment, she did not approve of the designer’s work and confronted him. He then pushed her out of her own apartment, the complaint said.
