Last phase of 2018 was all about the #MeToo wave. It impacted so many Bollywood stars and celebs and brought their career to a halt. Just when we thought that the wave has calmed down, it brings yet another shocker.
The industry is abuzz with Bollywood’s top filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani being accused of se*ual misconduct of his assistant director during Sanju film.
The AD has accused Hirani of assaulting her over a period of six months during the post-production of Sanju. Talking to a leading website, the girl reported that she was se*ually abused by Hirani for six months in a period of April to September 2018. She also informed about the same to Hirani’s friend and filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and his wife Anupama Chopra through an email.
The girl also said that her father was terminally ill so she couldn’t afford to speak about it earlier.
In return, Hirani through his advocate has denied the allegations calling it false, mischievous, scandalous, motivated and defamatory. The reports, however, have disturbed the industry people and even netizens.
Have a look at the reactions-

Just so sad. Last time a lot of the top stars escaped with bromidic statements due to the small guys involved. This time it is one of their closest and an industry biggie who has been called out. Let's see how many support the women and some real action is taken. #MeToo
