#MeToo: Ajay Devgn’s makeup artist Harish sacked after allegations made by Tanya Paul Singh

Tanya Paul Singh accused Ajay Devgn’s make-up artist Harish Wadhone, of harassing her while working on the sets of ‘De De Pyaar De’ film featuring Ajay Devgn and Tabu. The film in question is being produced by Luv Ranjan. Tanya has been working on it as a script and continuity supervisor.

Sharing her #MeToo story of how Harish harassed her on the sets of the film, Tanya wrote, “As an assistant director at the monitor with headphones when the first AD announced roll sound, I felt hands on my shoulder. Since I’m wired and already with a lot of continuity files in my hand, it’s almost impossible to look behind who it was. I could tell it was a man. He began to give me a very strong massage from head to tailbone. The touch did not seem right. In the middle of the shot, I couldn’t say anything. He picked a good time to victimize.”

She further wrote, “The director said the shot was okay, but it had a continuity jerk, so, after ‘cut’, I had to run to inform them about the potential mistake. I had no time to respond to him. When I returned to the monitor, he said I should thank him for the massage. His presence made me extremely uncomfortable.”

After Tanya complained about the incident to Luv Ranjan, the director discussed the matter with Ajay Devgn and he was fired from his job. Tanya thought that Harish, being one of the oldest employees of Devgn, would get away with it. However, she was glad that Ajay and the film’s team took a firm action against him.

She thanked everyone with her below post:

Even we are glad that the offenders are being given harsh punishment as this will send out a warning for every other offender out there.
