Sanjana wrote, “On returning from a long trip to the US yesterday, I read several baseless and unfounded stories with respect to misconduct and misbehavior on the sets of our film ‘Kizie Aur Manny’. I’d like to clarify that no such incident took place with me. Let’s put an end to these conjectures.”

Earlier, the lead actor of the film Sushant Singh Rajput and director Mukesh Chhabra’s name had come up in the sexual harassment allegations and as a result, Chhabra was suspended from the direction of the film. Mukesh Chhabra had refuted the allegations and said it is a smear campaign to malign his reputation and harm his carrer,

A report had appeared in DNA that Sushant made her co-actor Sanjana uncomfortable and turned extra-friendly towards her. A source was quoted as saying, “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.” 

In response, Sushant had vehemently denied the allegations and shared screengrabs of his personal chat with Sanjana. Sushant wrote, “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.”

The #MeToo saga has created quite a storm in Bollywood and the stories coming out are very unfortunate and tragic. The image of Bollywood has certainly taken a beating and justice will be done only when the victims of sexual harassment get closure.
