Actor
Kartik
Aaryan
refused
to
comment
much
about
the
sexual
abuse
allegations
leveled
against
director
Rajkumar
Hirani.
When
asked
for
his
opinion,
the
actor
said
that
until
the
allegations
are
proved
in
a
court
of
law,
he
is
not
in
a
position
to
comment
about
it.
"We
all
have
been
fans
of
his
work.
I
think
till
the
time
it
is
legally
proven
by
the
court
of
law,
we
can't
comment
about
it,"
Kartik
said.
Rajkumar
Hirani
was
the
latest
name
to
be
taken
up
in
the
MeToo
movement.
A
female
crew
member
who
had
worked
with
him
on
the
sets
of
the
biopic
Sanju,
accused
the
director
of
sexual
misconduct
and
abuse
on
more
than
one
occasion
between
March
and
September
2016.
The
filmmaker
has
denied
the
allegation
and
in
a
statement
he
said,
"I
was
completely
shocked
when
these
allegations
were
brought
to
my
notice
about
two
months
back.
I
had
suggested
immediately
that
it
is
essential
to
take
this
matter
to
any
committee
or
any
legal
body.
The
complainant
has
chosen
to
go
to
the
media
instead.
I
want
to
very
strongly
state
that
this
is
a
false,
malicious
and
mischievous
story
being
spread
with
the
sole
intention
of
destroying
my
reputation."
Many
from
the
industry
such
as
Sharman
Joshi,
Arshad
Warsi,
Javed
Akhtar,
Boney
Kapoor,
Dia
Mirza
have
extended
their
support
to
Raju
Hirani.
Others
such
as
Richa
Chaddha
and
Kartik
Aaryan
have
chosen
to
not
share
their
opinions
and
let
the
law
take
its
course
of
action.
"I
think
there
has
to
be
a
proper
legal
route
to
investigate
the
matter
but
it's
sad
if
such
cases
are
happening
not
just
in
our
industry
but
also
in
some
other
industry.
I
am
totally
against
it," Kartik
Aaryan
added.
