Marathi actress Prachi Pisat has brought to light a concerning incident involving veteran actor Sudesh Mhashilkar. On Sunday, she took to her official Instagram account to share screenshots of unsolicited messages she received from Mhashilkar via Instagram and Facebook.
The messages, written in Marathi, included phrases like, “Tuza number pathav na. Tuzyashi flirt karaychi ichha zaly… Kasli goad disteys” (Send me your number. I feel like flirting with you… You look so sweet) and “Khupach sexy disayla lagliyes halli… Waah” (You’ve started looking very sexy lately… Wow) .

Further emphasizing her stance, Prachi addressed the media, thanking them for their support while urging responsible reporting. She clarified, “Dear media channels and accounts, thank you so much for your kindness and support. Please note: I haven’t made any accusations. I just shared screenshots and my response. Please don’t use the wrong words. You guys are wonderful, just a request — I hope you don’t mislead while supporting”.
As of now, Sudesh Mhashilkar has not issued any public statement regarding the matter. The incident has prompted a broader conversation about professionalism, consent, and the importance of addressing inappropriate behavior within the entertainment industry.
