A 75-year-old French actress has alleged that she has been “hostage” at her home in North Goa’s Calangute and finds herself in a “dangerous situation” since the beginning of this week over a property dispute.
The Goa Police has expressed reluctance to intervene in the matter, saying that the dispute relating to the house is civil in nature and is being heard by a court.

He said that the main gate of the house has been locked and no one is being allowed to enter the premises except the maid.
The actor’s lawyer, Benny Nazareth, said the matter is sub judice and pending before the civil court in Mapusa town.

Trained at the Paris-based Center d’Arte Dramatique and the Conservatoire National d’Art Dramatique (National Academy of Dramatic Arts), Borgo has worked extensively in films, television and theater in Europe and India.

She was a recurring character in the French thriller series “Profiles”, and most recently took the lead in the Indian production “Danny Goes Om”.
