Piyush Mishra Accused Of Sexual Harassment: He Grabbed My Hand & Started Rubbing It Against His Hand

Piyush Mishra Grabbed My Hand & Rubbed It Against His Hand

"It was my fan moment. I praised him for his work and said I was a fan. He started lightly flirting in front of 20-25 people. Sang a song, looking right into my eyes. Everything was pleasant till then. I took it as harmless flirting. He was drinking all through the party and was too drunk by the time of wrap-up. He was sitting in a chair and as soon as I passed near him, he grabbed my hand and started rubbing his hands against mine."

I Sensed That He Was Coming To Hug & Grope Me

Ketki Joshi further commented, "Unfortunately, he was sitting between the kitchen and the terrace of the penthouse. As I was making another round to the terrace, he again grabbed my hand and started rubbing it. He suddenly stood up and took a step towards me. I sensed that he was coming to hug me or grope. I told him in an authoritative voice, "Aap please baith jaye."

He Had All The Intentions Of Coming Closer To Me

"I didn't make much fuss about it because he was a celebrity guest in someone's home and I didn't want to be ungrateful to the hosts who graciously invited me. I am not putting out names or location of the incident, except Piyush Mishra, is because I don't want to drag them unnecessarily in this. They did what they could to help me out and I am thankful to them. He was drunk but he had all the intentions of coming close to me since he set his eyes on me."
