Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel was recently campaigning in Bihar for an LJP candidate in the Assembly Election. She was on the campaign trail in Bihar's Daudnagar. In a recent interview with India Today TV, the actress has shared how unsafe she felt during the campaign and what she had experienced throughout. Ameesha said that it was like a nightmare, and that she could have been “raped and killed. The actress had to play along to save her life and to get out from there. However, the leader for whom Ameesha was campaigning has denied the allegations.
The actress further stated that she had gone as a guest to Prakash Chandra, a candidate of the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) in the Bihar Assembly Election. She alleged that Prakash Chandra made her miss an evening flight and kept her in a village and ‘threatened to leave me there if I didn’t agree and go along.' Continuing further the actress said, my car was surrounded at all times by his people and they would refuse to let my car move till I didn’t do as he said. He trapped me. And put my life in danger. This was his way of operating.” Speaking on the issue, Prakash Chandra said, “I believe in winning elections on the basis of people’s vote but one of my relatives organised her [Patel’s] rally in Obra. All security arrangements were made for her.
The Daudnagar police station in-charge was present in her security detail. None of what she has claimed happened. Does Bihar not have artists? Sonakshi Sinha is also from here. She met Pappu Yadav at the airport. They made a deal of Rs 15 lakh,” he told India Today. He also said that Ameesha had agreed to make a video in his favour, but for a price. “My driver spoke to Ameesha Patel’s PA today and she said she is ready to make another video in my favour. For that, she demanded Rs 10 lakh. I am an educated person and keep educated company. She was given full protection here. Her claims are completely baseless,” he said.
