Sakshi and Anusha have levelled allegations against each other.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Anusha Dandekar and Sakshi Shivdasani\u2019s feud has caught momentum after the actress responded to the influencer\u2019s claims. Anusha maintains that Sakshi has been lying about being mistreated on the show. Meanwhile, Sakshi holds her ground and claims that she has shared her experience with honesty. But what is this feud about?<\/p>\n

In 2019, Sakshi Shivadasani, then 20, participated in MTV Supermodel of the Year. She was eliminated from the show, and during her stint, her casual and calm persona made her stand out in the crowd. Years later, Sakshi opened up about her experience on the show and claimed that the producers and some judges had been rude towards her and the other contestants.<\/p>\n

More recently, Sakshi opened up about the illtreatment on her podcast, Moment of Silence. Sakshi said that the contestants were only allowed to sleep for four hours, and their food was portioned. She recalled how her words were twisted against her and how the judges hurled insults at the contestants.<\/p>\n

Sakshi Claims Anusha Bullied Her On MTV Show<\/h2>\n

The judges on the show were Milind Soman, Malaika Arora, Ujjwala Raut, Anusha Dandekar and Masaba Gupta.\u00a0Sakshi noted that her main grouse was with Anusha and Milind. She said that while Ujjwala and Masaba were occasionally rude, Malaika spoke to them properly. Sakshi said that there was a \u201cpower dynamic” which was made evident.<\/p>\n

Sakshi said, hinting at Anusha, \u201cWomen who were 10-15 years older than me coming and saying these things, I thought it was just bully behaviour\u2026 A certain host would come up to me off camera and make snide comments about my life\u2026”<\/p>\n

She noted how there was no regard for the contestants\u2019 safety on set and said, \u201cThere was this task where we had to jump from one container to another. Again, you\u2019re harnessed, but some guy is manually controlling it. I don\u2019t trust people with my life like that. Anusha, without getting a go-ahead, was like, \u2018Jump off.\u2019 No one was holding it\u2026 she never coordinated with anyone.”<\/p>\n

Sakshi Calls Show \u2018Predatory\u2019, Recalls Chemistry Shoot With Milind Soman<\/h2>\n

Sakshi called the show \u201cpredatory and creepy” while talking about how her ass was the central focus for one of the shoots. She also recalled shooting a task with Milind Soman and Ujjwala Raut, which was supposed to be intimate. She said that Milind and Ujjwala were \u201cgroping each other” and the contestants were supposed to join the shoot and show their chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnusha didn\u2019t like my outfit. They made me change last minute, and it was completely backless. I wasn\u2019t comfortable with my outfit\u2026 Everyone was like, \u2018Oh, why is she not comfortable?\u2019 I\u2019m not a physical touch person. I\u2019m not going to get in the middle of Milind Soman and Ujjwala Raut\u2026 That\u2019s not how things happen on a real set. That\u2019s an HR violation,” Sakshi noted.<\/p>\n

Sakshi Said A Puppy Nearly Died During A Shoot<\/h2>\n

The influencer also spoke about tasks where young puppies were abused to the point that one of them nearly lost its life. In another task, girls were forced to open up about their deepest insecurities in the name of content. During this task, the judges dismissed some of the girls, which was a huge blow to them. Sakshi mentioned that the girls could not leave the show despite the torture, as they would have to pay Rs 3 crore.<\/p>\n

Producer Threatened To Slap Me: Sakshi<\/h2>\n

Sakshi mentioned that a producer even threatened to slap her to get any emotion out of her. She said, \u201cShe was like, \u2018Are you going to give me any TRPs and emotions, or do I have to slap it out of you?'” She recalled how the girls were not given any privacy and all their emotions were exploited.<\/p>\n

She also mentioned that she frequently runs into Anusha now, who stops to adore her dog, Sushi. But, when Sakshi realises that the person is Anusha, she continues to walk away. Sakshi\u2019s detailed account of the illtreatment on the show went viral, especially her remarks about Anusha Dandekar.<\/p>\n

Anusha Says Sakshi Is Lying<\/h2>\n

The actress recently reacted to these claims in a chat with Humans of Bombay. \u201cFirstly, when I heard it, I was like, \u2018Wow, people can just lie. They can just use that? Okay, I\u2019m gonna sit tight. I\u2019m gonna sit quiet. I\u2019m gonna let her say what she wants to say.\u2019 She knows the truth and I know the truth, and that\u2019s enough,” Anusha said.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cThen she said it again. Come on, now. She\u2019s seen me in public. She smiles, and I smile back. Wow, so you wanna say that on camera, but you wanna smile at me when you see me? I found it strange. You\u2019ve got to know you\u2019re not being honest.”<\/p>\n

Anusha: Sakshi Had No Motivation To Be A Model<\/h2>\n

Anusha said that it was evident that Sakshi had no motivation to be on the show. \u201cI didn\u2019t treat her differently. I don\u2019t know what she was saying\u2026 Everything I did was on camera. I was told to go up to her specifically and tell her because she was not being enthusiastic\u2026 It\u2019s my job to go and tell her,” Anusha said and even refuted the claim that she never performed any of the tasks herself.<\/p>\n

Anusha said that Sakshi might have said what she felt in the moment, but deep down, she knows she didn\u2019t give her 100 per cent in the show. Anusha reiterated that Sakshi has been lying about her experience on the show. Sakshi clapped back by sharing her chats from 2019 in which she recounted her time on the show.<\/p>\n
