In the recent episode of the controversial reality show, Lock Upp, Mandana Karimi opened up about her abortion. She was asked to reveal a secret of her life, to which, the actress revealed that it was during the time she was struggling with her past relationship with Gaurav Gupta when she had got into a relationship with an ace director. She then burst into tears as she started revealing her relationship with him and how she got pregnant. However, everyone in the show, including the show's host, Kangana Ranaut was seen getting emotional listening to Mandana's secret, as she said:
"The time that I was struggling with my whole situation…my separation, I did have a secret relationship. My relationship was with a very well-known director who talks about women’s rights. He’s an idol to many people. We planned a pregnancy…and when it happened, he completely backed off and his reason was that he did not think he was emotionally ready to become a father again. He already has a child. Suddenly he was like ‘I did not believe you could get pregnant so easily at the age of 33’. We then went to my best friend's house because he said we should discuss with them as they are like my parents."
Further in the conversation, Mandana added that she had also tried to make him understand her situation, however, it was of no use. Thus, she had to abort her child and it had completely destroyed her. She mentioned:
“When we reached there, he started talking to my friend and saying he was not ready. He had planned the whole thing to get my friends to convince me to have an abortion. I then apologised to my friends and got back to the house. When we went back, he started saying 'You should have understood, my ex is not over me and there is a public case against me'. I had to take a decision because I come from a broken home. I took the step and I did have an abortion. I do not want to name that person because he does not deserve to be known by his name. And it just destroyed so much for me"
