Are Sanjana Sanghi harassment claims against Sushant Singh True?

Few months ago, bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been accused of sexual misconduct by his “Kizie Aur Manny” co-star Sanjana Sanghi.

The reports claims that the shooting of the film has stopped due to Sushant’s over-friendly behaviour with the actress on the sets of the film.

According to sources, “Sushant was trying to be ‘extra-friendly’ towards newbie Sanjana Sanghi. On one occasion, she seemed to have got uncomfortable and apparently brought it to the notice of her parents, who reportedly told her to return to the set only if she felt she should. One hears that as of now, shooting has come to a standstill.”

Well now, Sushant has dismissed reports on social media by sharing the snapshot of his conversation with Sanjana from the first day to the last day of the film’s shoot and captioned it: “I feel sad to reveal personal information but it seems that there is no other way to state what was, in the midst of this curated and well-timed smear campaign. From the first till the last day of the shoot, this is what happened on the set with Sanjana.”

Meanwhile, Mukesh Chabbra has been suspended from the post of director Kizie Aur Manny after he was named and shamed by two anonymous aspiring actresses in their #MeToo stories. Producers Fox Star Hindi on Friday issued a statement saying: “As a responsible organisation, Star India takes any allegation of sexual harassment of women at workplace very seriously hence Fox Star Studios has suspended the services of Mukesh Chhabra, director of our film Kizie Aur Manny, which is under production, till the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) of Mukesh Chhabra Casting Company concludes its inquiry into the allegations against him.”

In the on-going #MeToo movement in India, celebrities such as Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl and Nana Patekar have been called out for sexual harassment. Several members of the film industry (like lyricist writer Varun Grover) have also said that they’ve been falsely accused.
