Television actress Saumya Tandon, who plays the character of Anita on &TV’s popular show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai was on a vacation to Turkey, has been robbed in Istanbul. The actress got robbed of over Rs 60,000.
The incident has left the actress shaken. It was during a cab ride when the cabbie screamed at her and asked her to rush for change. He stopped in the middle of the road and that’s when Saumya realised that he hadn’t started the meter. Actress said, When I asked him to show the meter, he showed me some other meter and it said 50 lira which is almost twice of the normal fare. When I gave him the money, he returned it and said it was wrong money. As the currency is new and in Turkey both euro and lira work, I thought he wanted euro so I opened my purse which had my euros. But before I could realise what happened, he put his hand inside my purse and started telling me something which I didn’t understand. When I asked him to wait and not put his hand inside my wallet and he started screaming and pointing to everyone, honking as he stopped the car in the middle of the road. He also created kept pointing to the watch and hinting prayer time for Ramzan.
Saumya said the driver took 1,000 euros from her, “When he left, I checked my wallet and realised that he had taken a thousand euros from there while he distracted me with the honking and shouting. It was very disturbing but the incident has made me wiser and more cautious.”
