In the wake of the #MeToo movement, Chitrangda Singh remembers the trauma she had to undergo during the shoot of Kushan Nandy's Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, which had Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a co-star. Chitrangada has reportedly said that she was forced to do intimate scenes, which were unnecessary and also did not go with her character.

She claimed that she was asked to wear an unbuttoned blouse and a petticoat, and lie on Nawaz with her legs spread apart. Chitrangda refused to shoot for the scene and quit the film. The actor said Nawaz was also present at the time of the incident, but he preferred to stay mum. Chitrangda was replaced by Bidita Bag.
