#MeToo: Vidhu Vinod Chopra Finally Opens Up About Rajkumar Hirani's Sexual Harassment Case!
#MeToo: Vidhu Vinod Chopra was asked to comment on Rajkumar Hirani's sexual harassment case and he deviated from the question and took a middle path of neither accusing nor supporting him.
The
#MeToo
movement
kicked
up
a
storm
in
the
country
and
many
big
names
were
accused
of
sexual
harassment
by
several
women
and
it
came
as
a
complete
shocker
when
allegations
against
Rajkumar
Hirani
were
made
by
a
woman
who
works
in
his
own
team.
His
name
was
immediately
removed
from
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga
posters
and
shockwaves
went
throughout
the
industry.
While
several
people
supported
Rajkumar
Hirani,
the
others
were
skeptical.
Also,
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
shared
a
good
rapport
with
Rajkumar
Hirani
all
through
these
years
and
during
the
promotions
of
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga,
he
was
asked
to
comment
about
Rajkumar
Hirani's
controversy
and
here's
what
he
said...
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
Beats
Around
The
Bush!
"This
stage
here
is
for
something
else,
which
is
extremely
important
for
us,
as
important
as
what
you're
talking
about.
This
opportunity
we
should
use
to
talk
about
this
issue
and
that
of
course,
when
there
is
a
right
time,
we
will
talk
about
it," said
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
during
the
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga
promotions.
Did
Not
Support
Or
Accuse
Him!
Instead
of
talking
right
to
the
point,
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
chose
to
take
a
different
route
instead
and
deviated
from
the
question.
We
guess
he
does
not
want
to
put
himself
in
a
tight
spot
and
wants
the
matter
to
die
down
slowly.
While
some
have
supported
Rajkumar
Hirani
and
the
others
were
skeptical
about
the
matter,
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
chose
the
middle
road.
Here's
What
Rajkumar
Hirani
Said
About
The
Allegations
Made
Against
Him!
"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
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."
Rajkumar
Hirani
On
His
Relationship
With
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
Rajkumar
Hirani
also
stated
that
his
relationship
with
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
is
"crumbling"
after
the
sexual
harassment
controversy
broke
out
and
there
is
intense
pressure
on
his
shoulders
to
mend
things
back
to
normal.
