Girija Oak, a 37-year-old Marathi and Hindi film actress, has been a part of the entertainment industry for over two decades. However, a viral interview video catapulted her to 'National Crush' status overnight, sparking both admiration and unwanted attention. In a recent interview, Oak addressed the sudden surge in fame, including its more sinister aspects. Oak, known for her roles in films like Taare Zameen Par and Netflix's Inspector Zende, has been inundated with disturbing messages on her social media platforms. She revealed that some individuals have asked for her personal contact information or even propositioned her, with one person inquiring about her 'rate' for a private encounter. Oak expressed her concern about the disparity between people's online behavior and their in-person interactions, stating, 'If these same people saw me in real life, they wouldn't even look up.' Oak's rise to fame began with her debut in the Marathi film Manini as a teenager. She has since appeared in various Hindi and Marathi films and TV shows, including Ladies Special and Modern Love: Mumbai. With her next project, Perfect Family, alongside Gulshan Devaiah, set to release soon, Oak's recent comments serve as a reminder of the darker side of fame and the importance of maintaining a safe online presence.
