Queen Director Vikas Bahl Accused Of Sexual Harassment! He Denies It
Queen director Vikas Bahl has been accused of sexual harassment by a woman employee of his production company & Vikas has denied it saying it's untrue.
Vikas Bahl, who directed the superhit woman-centric film Queen starring Kangana Ranaut has landed himself in a soup with sexual harassment charges pinned against him. A woman employee has accused him of misconduct during a Goa trip and revealed that he behaved inappropriately.
A
source
from
the
production
house
was
quoted
as
saying,
"There
are
not
one,
two
or
three
but
multiple
victims.
I
was
in
the
middle
of
a
film
shoot
when
I
came
to
know
about
the
first
incident
and
I
had
to
stop
my
shoot
and
come
to
Mumbai.
There
is
(after
all)
a
young
girl
on
whom
an
intoxicated
Vikas
forced
himself
while
they
were
in
Goa.
He
has
behaved
badly
in
the
past
as
well
but
when
this
specific
complaint
came,
we
needed
to
act
on
it."
A
stakeholder
further
revealed
that
the
company
has
asked
him
to
step
down
from
his
position
due
to
the
allegations,
"We
(Reliance
Entertainment
and
Phantom
Films)
have
taken
a
hard
stand,
based
on
what
we
have
heard
and
investigated."
Also, Vikas Bahl has denied all these charges and said that it's all a fabricated story. "Nothing has happened. I am running the company. There is no complaint to HR and there is no Vishakha committee. I have heard about this particular lady you are speaking about and the Goa incident. She is not my employee."
He further commented, "Yes, I am friends with her, we have worked together and there is a production job we have done together, but if she is feeling like this I would like to sit across a table from her and talk to her. I want to ask her if I have crossed a line, whether I have done anything to hurt her and if she feels that way I would like to apologise for it. I have known her for long. For two-and-a-half years she has never made me feel as if she is uncomfortable (around me)."
