A controversy from the television industry has resurfaced after actor Saanvie Tallwar shared her account of an alleged incident involving her former Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum co-star Karan Kundrra. Tallwar has claimed that she faced an uncomfortable experience while shooting for the show and alleged that the incident later impacted the atmosphere on the set.

Saanvie Tallwar recalls her experience during TV show shoot
Saanvie Tallwar recently spoke about her time on the sets of Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum and alleged that she faced difficulties while working on the show. According to the actor, she was someone who preferred staying away from unnecessary social interactions on set, which she claimed created distance between her and some members of the team.
She alleged that tensions increased during the filming of a scene when an incident between her and Karan Kundrra reportedly took place. Tallwar claimed that what started during the shoot later turned into a serious confrontation and affected the environment around her.
Sharing her version of events in an interview with Filmibeat, Tallwar said, “There was a scene, but the director hadn’t clapped action. Even before that, he kissed me, and I slapped him. He didn’t react at that time, but then he came back after some time and slapped me hard. There is a difference between the intensity of a girl’s and a man’s slap. I fell on the floor, and then he abused me and my family.”
Actor claims she did not receive immediate support
Tallwar further alleged that people present on the set did not immediately come forward to support her after the reported incident. She said the situation was later handled after producer Ektaa Kapoor stepped in. Talking about the aftermath, she stated, “Nobody supported me. Later, Ektaa ma’am (Kapoor) apologised on Karan’s behalf and supported me. She managed to make things easy.” The actor credited Kapoor for helping make the situation more manageable but claimed that the overall working atmosphere remained difficult.
Tallwar speaks about alleged professional impact
In another conversation with The GlamWorld Talks, Tallwar claimed that the situation affected her professional experience during the show. She alleged that after she raised concerns, her acting skills were questioned by the director. She also claimed that she noticed what she described as interest from Kundrra but said she maintained a professional distance. Tallwar explained that she chose not to encourage anything beyond a working relationship.
