#MeToo: Ajay Devgn’s Make-up Artist Got Fired After Sexually Misconducting With Tanya Paul Singh

Assistant Director Tanya Paul Singh has shared her own #MeToo story and is now all praises for Ajay Devgn and Luv Ranjan. It happened on the sets of Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer De De Pyaar De, produced by Luv Ranjan, where she was a script and continuity supervisor. In a long post, she shared how Ajay Devgn's make-up artist Harish Wadhone harassed her during the shoot of the film.

She wrote, "As an assistant director at the monitor with headphones when the first AD announced roll sound, I felt hands on my shoulder. Since I'm wired and already with a lot of continuity files in my hand, it's almost impossible to look behind who it was. I could tell it was a man. He began to give me a very strong massage from head to tailbone. The touch did not seem right. In the middle of the shot, I couldn't say anything. He picked a good time to victimize."

"The director said the shot was okay, but it had a continuity jerk, so, after 'cut', I had to run to inform them about the potential mistake. I had no time to respond to him. When I returned to the monitor, he said I should thank him for the massage. His presence made me extremely uncomfortable."

Narrating the second incident, she wrote, "He would lean on the chair on the excuse of watching a close-up shot of Ajay Devgn. I felt his fingers on my back again. I informed, rather ordered, one of the interns to stand by my chair and not let anyone lean over to watch the Shogun. The make-up guy had the balls to move the intern physically so he could lean on me."

"I confessed to a colleague that I am scared to be at the monitor and under a constant threat of being attacked. She took it forward to the creative team. Luv Ranjan called me personally and asked me why didn't I report the inappropriate massage and that he won't tolerate such behaviour on set. He had a word with Ajay Devgn and made the make-up person discontinue for the film."
