The
music
director
has
been
mired
in
controversies
off
lately.
A
number
of
women
have
come
forward
and
narrated
their
horror
stories
about
the
harassment
they
faced
at
the
hands
of
Malik.
Singer
Sona
Mohapatra
too
had
accused
Anu
Malik
of
misbehavior
on
Twitter
when
she
was
only
15
years
old.
Not
only
Mohapatra,
another
singer
Neha
Bhasin
has
accused
Malik
of
harassment.
The
music
director
has
finally
broken
his
silence
in
an
official
statement
he
released
on
social
media.
The
composer
has
vehemently
denied
all
the
allegations.
The
musician,
in
a
first,
stated,
“It
has
been
over
a
year
that
I
have
been
accused
of
something
that
I
haven’t
done.
I
have
been
silent
all
this
while
as
I
was
waiting
for
the
truth
to
surface
on
its
own.
But
I
realize
that
my
silence
on
the
matter
has
been
misconstrued
as
my
weakness.
Ever
since
the
false
and
unverified
allegations
were
levelled
against
me,
it
has
not
only
ruined
my
reputation,
but
affected
me
and
my
family’s
mental
health,
left
us
traumatised
and
tarnished
my
career.
I
feel
helpless,
like
I
am
being
cornered
and
suffocated.”
(sic)
He
further
continued
and
said,
“It’s
disgraceful
that
at
this
age,
at
this
stage
in
my
life
I
have
to
watch
the
most
slanderous
words
and
horrifying
incidents
being
associated
with
my
name.
Why
wasn’t
this
spoken
about
before?
Why
do
these
allegations
resurface
only
when
I
back
on
television,
which
is
currently
my
only
source
of
livelihood?
Being
a
father
of
two
daughters,
I
can’t
imagine
committing
the
acts
that
I
am
accused
of,
let
alone
do
it.
Fighting
a
battle
on
social
media
is
an
endless
process,
at
the
end
of
which
nobody
wins.
If
this
keeps
on
continuing,
I
will
have
no
option
but
to
knock
on
the
doors
of
the
courts
to
safeguard
myself.
He
finally
concluded
and
stated
that
he
would
like
to
thank
his
well-wishers
who
have
been
with
him
and
his
family
through
this
dark
phase.
He
also
professed
that
he
isn’t
sure
as
to
how
much
more
slander
and
dirt
he
and
his
family
can
take.
