She has sought protection from the Bareilly police. In the video clip, Trupti is heard accusing her father of pulling her by her hair and thrashing her.

Trupti, who is 19-years-old, has now left her home with her mother. Her father is a real estate businessman. He could not be contacted for his comments. Trupti has worked in tele serials like Kumkum Bhagya and also in a South Indian film.

The Bareilly police said that they have not received any written complaints but learnt about the actor's post on social media a few hours ago. "We are investigating the matter," said a senior police official.
