What seems to be taken as a joke in the nation at the moment is the #MeToo movement. A number of actors, singers, directors and producers are being accused by people in lieu of the movement. T-series head honcho Bhushan Kumar too has been accused in the same.
Bhushan Kumar denied the sexual harassment allegations against him, saying the claims are being used a tool to malign his reputation. An anonymous Twitter user accused Kumar of propositioning her on the pretext of signing a three-movie contract with his production house. She alleged that when she refused the offer Bhushanji threatened her saying he would spoil her career if she shares her account.
In response to this, Kumar told PTI,
“I am appalled and anguished to know that my name has been dragged in this #MeToo by some anonymous person(s). The allegations against me are bad on the face of it. I have enjoyed an impeccable reputation and have always maintained professionalism. The tweet has been used as a tool to defame me and malign my reputation,”
The producer further added that will be lodging a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police. He said,
“I have taken this allegation very seriously and lodging a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police to track the mysterious people(s) whose twitter handles have disappeared within seconds of uploading the malicious tweet. I’ll take all such actions as I will be legally advised.”
Others who have been accused in the #MeToo movement include Vikas Bahl, Subhash Ghai, Nana Patekar, Alok Nath, Sajid Khan and others.
