That’s when I told him to let me go to Mumbai and try my luck for a week. Getting him to let me go was a struggle. He did this only after buying my return ticket! However, when I got there, he often called me and asked me to go back. I’m already frustrated that the movie hasn’t started yet, and other things don’t seem to be moving forward either. I snapped. I knew he had the ability to take me back to pursue a career that he felt was safer and more appropriate for me. He responded to my email and said he would go to the police station to look for me. I told him I would do the same and told them he was torturing me! I am already an adult. “
