Preetika Rao, widely recognized for her role as Aaliya in the popular TV series Beintehaa, has recently found herself at the center of a social media storm. The actress, who is also the sister of Bollywood star Amrita Rao, made serious allegations against her former co-star Harshad Arora. The controversy erupted after a fan shared romantic video edits of the duo’s scenes from their show, which aired in 2013.
Preetika Rao’s Explosive Comments on Harshad Arora
The situation escalated when Preetika directly messaged the fan, expressing her frustration. She accused Harshad of inappropriate behavior, labeling him a “womanizer” who “sleeps with every woman he encounters in the industry.” Her remarks left fans shocked and divided. In her message, she criticized the fan for sharing the videos despite her repeated requests not to post content featuring her with Harshad. She warned the fan about karmic consequences, stating, “You are going against the will of my soul. The karma is yours to bear.”
Harsh Words from Preetika Rao: “The Karma Is Yours”
Preetika also clarified the nature of her on-screen relationship with Harshad. She emphasized that only a small fraction of their scenes were romantic, while the majority involved no physical contact. She expressed disappointment that these select moments were being highlighted against her wishes. Her strong words, including “Shame on you!” and “Mark my words, you are taking upon yourself a very serious karma,” underscored her displeasure.
The controversy has reignited discussions about the challenges celebrities face in maintaining their privacy and personal boundaries. It also highlights the importance of respecting individuals’ wishes, both in their professional and personal lives.
Beintehaa, which portrayed a love-hate relationship between cousins, was a massive hit during its run. The show earned Preetika the Gold Award for Best Debut-Female and Harshad the ITA Award for Best Actor Popular. Its success led to a rerun on Colours Rishtey in 2021, further cementing its legacy.
Adding another layer to the story, Harshad Arora recently tied the knot with actress Muskaan Rajput in December 2024. Muskaan, known for her role in Naagin, has remained silent on the controversy. Meanwhile, fans continue to debate the allegations and their implications.
This incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of fame and the delicate balance celebrities must strike between their public and private lives. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how both Preetika and Harshad will address the situation moving forward.
