Actor and influencer Riva Arora alleged verbal harassment by a Blinkit delivery agent during an incident at her Mumbai residence on April 26. Calling the experience "upsetting," Riva claimed the agent continued using inappropriate language despite repeated requests to stop. She added that her family immediately contacted the Mumbai Police.
Speaking exclusively to Hindustan Times, Riva called the incident upsetting and added, "I'm focusing on staying positive."
Narrating the ordeal, Riva claimed that on April 26, a Blinkit delivery agent brought an order to her home at around 3:30 PM but behaved inappropriately despite being repeatedly asked to stop. "From the beginning, his tone was rude and inappropriate. When I responded, the situation didn't improve. My mother (Nisha Arora) stepped in to calmly address the issue and de-escalate things, but instead of resolving it, the delivery agent continued to behave disrespectfully," explained the actor.
She said that the situation only escalated when her sister, Muskan Arora, confronted him. "When my sister encountered him in the lift while he was leaving, he continued using inappropriate language despite being asked to stop. At that point, we felt the behavior crossed a line and needed to be addressed seriously. Disrespectful, inappropriate, and crass language was directed at us without any provocation. It wasn't just a one-time remark; he continued speaking in that manner repeatedly," alleged Riva.
After facing alleged verbal harassment from the delivery agent, they contacted the police and sought help. "We immediately contacted the Mumbai Police, who responded very quickly and arrived on the spot to take action. They responded very promptly and took immediate action when they arrived."
Talking about Riva, she is an Indian child actress and popular social media influencer known for her roles in films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. With over 18 million followers, she is a prominent digital content creator.
