Now, Priya Ahuja, aka 'Rita Reporter' of TMKOC, opened up about her ordeal on the show.
In an interview with Etimes, Priya Ahuja revealed that the behaviour of the show, TMKOC's producer, Asit Modi and his team changed after she tied the knot with director, Malav Rajda. The actress mentioned that she had to go through mental harassment. Priya added that her track in the show was reduced without giving any prior clue to her, and even though she messaged Asit Modi quite a few times, he didn't respond.
