Though the actress has a huge fan following, things were always not smooth for her. She faced racial discrimination, too. Yes, you read that right! In an old interview, she had shared her experience.
According to reports, Hazel and her mother walked into the Jaipur branch of a popular international money transfer company. The actress went there to collect the money that her aunt had sent her, but she was denied access by the official and was told that her name was not Hindu. Opening up about the incident, Hazel had said to a leading daily, "I was very angry. They were trying to be difficult the moment I walked in. Had it been the case of me not carrying the right documents, I wouldn't mind but they said it was because of my name. I told them that I am an Indian citizen, so how does it matter what my name is! Indian citizens don't need to show a passport, you just need government documents as ID proof (pan card and driving license) and I had that with me. But they refused to see my IDs.”
“I spoke to three officers and all of them were rude. They kept laughing and sneering,” she added.
