Item girl Rakhi Sawant's best friend recently grabbed all the eyeballs when she slapped 'Mumbai Can Dance Saala's director Sachendra Sharma on stage during the music launch of Sawant's film in Mumbai.
Sawant's best pal Manisha Kumari accused Sharma for promising a role in his movie if she was willing to compromise.
Kumari went on stage to accuse the director and slapped him when Sawant and Sharma were busy launching the music of their film.
Sharma responded by beating up Kumari on stage which created a chaos at the event.
Meanwhile, the 36-year-old actress, who has done an item song in the movie, has come forward in support of her best friend and has alleged that the director misbehaved with her after being slapped.
Speaking to the media persons, Sawant asserted, "She is my best friend. You all were present there and you all know what happened. We have come to the police station as she has been molested on stage.
Both Rakhi and her friend have registered a case against the filmmaker for casting couch and molestation at Santacruz police station in Mumbai. The FIR has been registered and police is likely to take action soon.
