Nandita Das is a strong activist for women's rights and safety and her own father Jatin Das was accused of sexual harassment by a woman named Nisha Bora as she took to her Twitter handle by saying that he tried to molest her 14 years ago when they were discussing about a project. When she resisted his unruly advances, Jatin Das said, "Come on, it would be nice." However, the 76-year-old has denied all of her claims by saying her statements are "horrifying, vulgar and cheap."
