She then mentioned how her father lost focus and it harmed the family, pitting everyone in a difficult spot. Opening up about her bitter experience with the spiritual leader, Goenka shared how her family trusted him very heavily. She said, “My family trusted him very heavily. Even I had started to believe in him. He sounded reasonable and said just the right things, he sounded very practical.”

The Sacred Games actress continued, “But he tried to take advantage of me. I was 18 then. That scarred me for a very, very long time. Thankfully, I did not let him take advantage. I was able to escape the situation. I knew I had to hear my instincts, though I had to fight them for a while. I had started to see signs and gauged from prior meetings that something was amiss. I kept doubting myself because I had believed in him for so long and didn’t think it was possible.”

Meanwhile, as Goenka narrated her ordeal, she also shared that her dad still runs after babas and godmen, but the family does not allow him to take extreme steps as he is now an aged person. She also revealed that there is someone currently in her life, who is not a godman or a spiritual leader, but an astrologer from whom she seeks counselling.
