“The boy used some diabolic means and s*xually violated me, when I could not see my period, I refused to tell my mother, because she was very strict.

she said.

The actress explained that the pregnancy was about seven months before her mother noticed it, adding that her mother was shocked at the pregnancy because she thought her being strict would not allow such a thing to happen.
