Remember Sayali Bhagat? The former Miss India and Bollywood starlet who starred in a handful of forgettable films like Ghost, Paying Guest and Halla Bol? No? Well, we didn’t think you would.

But we’re pretty sure the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shiney Ahuja (where has he disappeared to?) and Sajid Khan won’t be forgetting her in a hurry.

Back in 2011, Sayali had her (alleged) PR agency release a statement to the media that denied that Shiney Ahuja pinched her butt. It stated, “I am in a state of absolute shock ever since a leading film magazine has carried a story suggesting that Shiney (Ahuja) pinched my butt on the sets of our upcoming film, Ghost. I have never said that Shiney misbehaved with me or that he pinched my butt. In fact, I don’t know where these reports are coming from.”

Then, a few days later, they released another statement to the media that stated, “I was under tremendous pressure to deny all the claims and allegations I made in my Stardust interview, so I gave into the pressure. Alhough the fact remains that Shiney did not pinch my butt, he did make plenty of passes at me during the shooting of our film. It all began by him throwing subtle hints that he was not getting “warm vibes” from me on the sets, and that in order for the chemistry to show on screen, it was imperative that he and I warmed up to each other.”

And if you thought the scandal ended there, it only got more sordid. The starlet (through the alleged PR agency) went on to accuse many other Bollywood folk of sexual harassment, including – hold your breath – Amitabh Bachchan.

In yet another statement, she was alleged to have said, “Recently, at the launch of the first look of Tinu Verma’s film this weekend (October 2011), Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was the chief guest. Like everybody else, even I bent down to touch his feet to seek his blessings. Amitabh placed his hand on my butt and felt it up. I was too stunned to say anything to anyone. He should show some respect. After all, he is a 70 year old man, my grandfather’s age. I felt like slapping him the moment he placed his hand on my butt.”

Amitabh Bachchan reacted immediately on Twitter about the “Negative, malicious, completely untrue remarks.”

But suddenly, the tables turned and the very PR agency that was sending out the releases (allegedly on her behalf), decided to drag her to court for non-payment of professional fees.

When we finally met her in person, a month later at an event, here’s what she told us:

It’s been two years since then and she seemed to have disappeared into oblivion. But yesterday, we got the news that she got married to Navneet Pratep Singh in Mumbai, an entrepreneur from Delhi who has an MBA degree from E. Philip Saunders Schools of Business in New York.

We also hear that she’s got three films in her kitty. Looks like 2014 will be a good year for this controversial starlet.
