Television actress Sambhavna Seth and her husband Avinash Dwivedi revealed that their house help's sister was allegedly confined, mistreated, and threatened with death while working at a residence in Navi Mumbai's Kharghar. The woman was reportedly hired through a domestic help agency to care for pets but was forced to perform additional household chores and denied freedom to leave. After the couple intervened and coordinated with the agency and an NGO, the woman was rescued and an FIR was filed against the employers. The couple shared the incident publicly to raise awareness about such abuses.
