Further, during the media interaction, the Baadshah actress revealed how the Student Of The Year director tried running away from the boarding school, she told, “We were at the end of a hill, so I said ‘roll down the hill, get a boat from there and run away’. He rolled down the hill, but they caught up with him and forced him to climb back, which took him two hours, and they used him as an example in the assembly, making him stand next to the principal as a fugitive.”
Karan Johar added, “The principal said, ‘Will you do what this boy has done?'” At the time, I was used as a guinea pig, which was the most humiliating experience of my life. I was only 12 years old.”
