Subhash Ghai Accused Of Rape: He Denies It & Threatens Defamation Against The Woman!
Subhash Ghai has been accused of drugging and raping a woman and the director opened up by saying that it's now become a fashion to randomly name and shame people for their own personal gains.
Subhash
Ghai
is
the
latest
Bollywood
figure
to
be
accused
of
rape
with
an
anonymous
woman
alleging
that
he
spiked
her
drink
and
then
sexually
assaulted
her,
a
claim
the
director
"strictly
and
firmly" denied
on
Thursday.
The
anonymous
woman's
message
was
shared
on
Twitter
by
writer
Mahima
Kukreja,
who
was
one
of
the
first
women
to
accuse
comedian
Utsav
Chakraborty
of
sexual
harassment
last
week.
Kukreja
said
the
woman
is
"very
credible
media/lit
personality,
who
does
not
want
to
be
named".
The
woman
said
she
worked
with
Ghai
on
a
film
years
ago
and
he
started
taking
an
extra
interest
in
her
and
would
often
call
her
for
script
sessions
at
his
apartment,
which
he
would
allegedly
call
his
"thinking
pad".
She
claims
he
once
forcefully
kissed
her
but
tried
to
pacify
her
the
next
day
by
calling
the
incident
a
"lover's
tiff".
She
said
she
told
the
first
assistant
director
and
two
other
women
about
the
incident
but
decided
to
let
it
go
because
she
had
no
job
or
financial
security
at
that
time.
She
alleges
that
after
a
late
music
session,
he
decided
to
have
a
drink
and
offered
one
to
her,
which
"was
spiked" while
he
was
dropping
her
home
in
the
car.
The
woman
remembers
being
taken
to
a
hotel
room
and
assaulted
before
losing
consciousness.
When
contacted,
73-year-old
Ghai
told
PTI,
"It
is
sad
that
it
is
becoming
a
fashion
to
malign
anyone
known,
bringing
some
stories
from
past
without
any
truth
or
blown
up
false
allegations
if
all.
I
deny
strictly
and
firmly
all
false
allegations
like
these."
The
director
said
he
has
always
been
respectful
towards
women
in
life
as
well
in
workplace.
"If
she
claims
this
way,
she
should
go
to
the
court
of
law
and
prove
it.
Justice
will
be
done
or
I
will
go
for
defamation
certainly," he
added.
Newer
names
emerged
on
Thursday
in
the
#MeToo
movement,
as
actor
Saloni
Chopra
accused
director
Sajid
Khan
of
sexual
harassment,
while
she
worked
with
him
as
an
assistant.
She
also
accused
Vikas
Bahl,
who
is
already
facing
sexual
harassment
charges
from
a
former
employee,
of
being
a
sexist.
Chopra
also
detailed
an
alleged
toxic
relationship
with
Kuchh
Bheege
Alfaaz
actor
Zain
Durrani
of
physical
abuse.
Sajid
and
Zain
could
not
be
reached
for
a
reaction.
Sajid
has
also
been
accused
by
a
woman
journalist
of
sexually
harassing
her.
She
said
she
went
to
interview
Khan
at
his
sister
Farah
Khan's
house,
but
upon
reaching
there,
he
exposed
himself
and
forcefully
kissed
her.
