4. Victim of racism: In September this year, Hazel accused the manager of a remittance firm in Jaipur of making a racist comment at her. According to the actor, the manager refused to transfer money as her name did not sound Hindu enough. She took to Twitter to express her angst and was supported by her fiancee as well. Later, the firm issued an apology and the matter was put to rest.
