Rohit bared his heart out and shared the horror of what he went through.
He said, “I am from a very good family. But my family members have very old ideas. Even though I was born in a good family, I was sexually abused in my childhood by my real uncle. I was r*ped by my own uncle at the age of eight.”
The designer added, “He used to make me wear a sari, put hot wax on my body and do horrific abusive acts. All this went on for three to four years. I never told my parents about this because of fear.”
In the candid chat, Rohit also recalled his years of working as a prostitute in Mumbai when he’d wear women’s outfits. He shared that he bought himself designer bags after people took him once or twice and added that he doesn’t regret the phase as he needed money.
Rohit was recently in news for unfollowing good friend Nisha Rawal on Instagram. He was quite supportive of her in her marital crisis but claims they aren’t friends anymore.
What went wrong between them is best known to them but Rohit did hint in the interview, “Everything is very open. I am a very modern person. I am not against someone developing a feeling for someone. But one doesn’t have to forget their boundaries.”
