Several women in India have come out and shared their stories of getting sexually harassed by some or other powerful men. Journalists, sportsmen, actors, politicians, businessmen and authors, no one has been spared in this movement.
Writer-director Vikas Bahl
He was recently accused of sexually harassing an ex-employee of Phantom Films, the company he co-founded with three other notable films directors of Bollywood. The allegations against Bahl have then supported actresses Kangana Ranaut and Nayani Dixit as both the women accused him of sexual misconduct. This entire episode made Phantom Films shut its door.
"That’s his (Vikas Bahl's) strategy, he pretends to be drunk. He caught the corner of my mouth when he tried to kiss me," - shared the actress anonymously. - https://t.co/NdnE9MVnHy
