In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Rashami also spoke about how her mother intervened and slapped the perpetrator to teach him a lesson.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the actor recalled her experience by stating that:

Unfortunately I have been subjected to the same and I have spoken about it before. I remember I was called for an audition and when I went there, there was no one else except him. I was just 16 back then and he tried to get me unconscious. I was uncomfortable and somehow managed to come out from there and later, after a few hours, I told everything to my mother

She further said, “I remember the next day, I went to meet him with my mother and my mother had slapped him to teach a lesson. Casting couch is a real thing but then, every industry is about good and bad people. I am fortunate to have later worked with some fabulous people with whom I have had a good working experience. God has been kind.”

Rashami began her acting career with a cameo in the Assamese film Kanyadaan (2002), and went on to appear in the National Award-winning Bhojpuri film Kab Hoi Gawna Hamar (2003), which starred Ravi Kishan. However, it was her role in the popular television series Uttaran (2009-2014) and Dil Se Dil Tak (2017-2018) that brought her widespread fame. She has also participated in several reality shows, including Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 6, Nach Baliye 7, Bigg Boss 13, Bigg Boss 15, The Khatra Khatra Show, and Entertainment Ki Raat Housefull.
