Model, VJ Pooja Mishra says engaged couple harassed her ever since she rebuffed restaurateur's advances in 2006

The story has all the masala for a Bollywood potboiler, except that, "it's my life," says Pooja Mishra.

The model and VJu00a0 claims to have reached breaking point with her alleged tormentors restaurateur Timmy Narang and actor Eesha Koppikar.

She also blames Narang's sister and socialite Ramona and Shatrug-han Sinha's wife, Poonam.

Accusing the couple of mentally torturing her, indulging in espionage and jeopardising her career, Mishra filed a complaint against all four with the Andheri Metropolitan court yesterday.

Last week, she had also lodged a complaint with the Maharashtra State Commission for Women, who have, in turn, directed the Amboli police station to look into her complaint against the couple.

Victim? Pooja Mishra filed a complaint with the Maharashtra State Commission for Women, alleging that she has lost good roles because of Timmy Narang and Eesha Koppikar

"It's been going on since 2006 and out of grace, I kept silent. But I can't take it anymore," said Mishra.

Senior PI K Ghamande of the Amboli police station confirmed that Mishra had filed a complaint in April this year.

"We accepted her complaints and filed an NC in the matter, but told her to lodge a complaint with the court."

Breakdown

Incidentally, Narang and Koppikar are set to tie the knot on Sunday. Mishra denies that the upcoming wedding had anything to do with her allegations.

"I've been crying hoarse to anyone I could, but who's listened? I filed a non-cognisable offence complaint against Eesha for stalking me in April.

Then I wrote to the Home Department in October, and the Crime Branch before that. I couldn't find a lawyer to defend me.

Nobody wanted to touch this case. I've had a mental breakdown and it has affected my career. I've to run out to PCOs to make calls. I can't use my phone anymore as it's being tapped."

In love: Timmy Narang and Eesha Koppikar.

In 2006...

Mishra claims the rift started when she rebuffed Narang's advances in 2006. "Poonam Sinha and Ramona tried to defame me in the press. They have also installed spyware on my phone.
u00a0
In my complaint to the home department, I have also detailed how they sent goons to smash my car. My parents don't believe me anymore and I'm alone in this city.

I have no faith in the cops anymore," said Mishra, adding that several plum projects had fallen out of her lap because of what she terms as Koppikar's "insecurity".

Pooja also alleged they manipulated a reality show on a TV channel and ensured sheu00a0 was ousted.

The Other Side

Koppikar declined to comment and Timmy did not respond to several calls and text messages. Ramona was unavailable for comment. Poonam Sinha's agent said she was out of town and could not be reached.

Who's Timmy Narang?

Timmy is the brother of socialite Ramona Narang and used to own Lush and Ra lounges at Phoenix Mills. He now manages the recently-launched Diva lounge.
