Actress Hansika Motwani has rubbished media reports that claimed she encountered the casting couch and was harassed by a Telugu actor. In a tweet replying to one such report, Hansika wrote that she hadn't said what the report claimed she had. "Have not given this quote ever! Stop printing rubbish," she tweeted. In a second tweet, the actress addressed the media and asked that quotes be fact-checked before being carried in reports. "Publications urging you to cross-check before picking up random news piece! Never made this comment that's doing the rounds. Please fact check before publishing blindly," she tweeted.
The reports claimed that Hansika had dealt with inappropriate advances from a Telugu actor who "harassed" her by asking for dates. "I have taught him a good lesson, he won't taunt me anymore" is the viral quote attributed to Hansika and that she denies having said.
