"That was a little creepy" - Actress Kashish Kapoor claims a famous cricketer tried to flirt with her

Actress and reality show star Kashish Kapoor made a shocking claim involving a famous cricketer in a recent interview on Filmygyan Viral. She claimed that the unnamed player tried to flirt with her and she felt the approach was creepy.

When asked about a celebrity who tried to flirt with her and whether it felt creepy, she revealed an instance where an unnamed cricket star asked her to meet in person. However, she denied meeting him and added that she wouldn't get impressed by people just because of their profession.

"Actually this very famous cricketer. That was a little creepy also. He asked to meet in person. I denied. You are a cricketer at home. To me you are a guy, impress me. I wouldn't be impressed just because of your occupation right. He thought I should be impressed because he is a cricketer and it can be easy. But I don't like that. You're a cricketer, its a profession, I respect, but to me you are not going to bat and bowl with me that I am going to be impressed," she said. (0:48)
