Minissha Lamba warned to 'stay away' from New York event

Minnisha Lamba has claimed that she has been receiving phone threats from a mystery caller.

The caller warned her to stay away from a cultural event in New York, according to Mid Day.

Lamba told the tabloid: "It started on Saturday, when I received the first spate of calls from both numbers. At first, I answered the phone and both callers said the same thing... 'Don't attend the event in New York'.

"If it was a political event or maybe a cultural event in a hostile country, I'd understand.

"But why shouldn't I attend an innocuous dinner event in New York meant to bring together non-resident Indians and Indian personalities? It makes no sense."

Lamba claimed that police had traced the phone calls to a public booth in Haryana, India.

"I don't scare easily, and I am certainly not scared. But I am curious and suspicious," the actress said.

"Why would I be threatened against going to a cultural event in New York? I've to get to the bottom of this."

In May, Lamba revealed that she was only eating one meal a day ahead of her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.
