Women have come forward and shared their horrifying stories of sexual harassment at the hands of powerful and well-known people. Tanushree Dutta triggered a moment of sorts when she accused Nana Patekar of sexual misconduct on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss (2008). Following this, many women have come forward and called out men like Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath, Rajat Kapoor and Kailash Kher for unwarranted advances and molestation. Now, the next one to be accused is director Subhash Ghai. An anonymous woman shared her nightmarish experience. She says that while working with the director on a film many years ago, he drugged and raped her. She wrote, "In the beginning, he would take me to music recordings and I would have to sit there till very late at night with other male members. When recordings finished, I took an auto home or he would drop me. He slowly started putting his hand on my thigh, giving me a big hug saying that I did good that day." She added that he would call her for script sessions at his apartment in Lokhandwala. This was not the house that he stayed with his wife. He called it his "thinking pad." "In one of the script sessions, he started talking about how misunderstood he was in the industry and only I was the one who loved him. He pretended to weep and put his head on lap. Then when he was getting up, he kissed me forcefully. I was shocked and left that day." Next day, he said in office, that "lovers have tiffs". The woman adds that she was too scared to leave work, as she had no other job and other form of financial security. One evening after music session, he decided to have a drink. "He gave me a drink as well. It was spiked. After that, I remember getting into a car and I thought that he was driving me home. He took me to a hotel. I was wobbly, but he held me and took me to the suite. He took off my jeans and mounted me. I was trying to scream, but he put his hand over my mouth. I cried and passed out." The next day he dropped her home. "I took a few days off and I was told that I won't be paid, if I quit now." The woman says that she has never seen or spoken to him after that.

Now, the Bollywood industry has been hit with allegations after multiple celebrities were named in the past week, including filmmaker Sajid Khan, actor Alok Nath, singer Kailash Kher, and more. Here’s a list of all the men from Bollywood who have been accused of sexually inappropriate and/or predatory behaviour. 1. Alok Nath Veteran actor Alok Nath is known for his sanskaari onscreen image in Indian cinema. Apparently, it’s not something the actor known for his babuji roles lives by in real life. He has been accused of sexual assault as well as harassment by two women. The first was producer-writer Vinta Nanda, who accused Alok of raping her 19 years ago. He allegedly repeated the act once again when the duo had to work together on a show later. After Vinta came out with her story, actor Sandhya Mridul also accused Alok of sexual harassment which took a toll on her health and career. A third allegation emerged against Alok Nath on Thursday. Actor Deepika Amin shared Vinta Nanda's post, and said that Alok had tried to barge in drunk into her room some years ago in a telefilm shoot. Alok’s response to the whole thing has been dismissive, at best. He responded to Vinta’s allegations saying, “[The rape] must have happened, but someone else would have done it. Well, I do not want to talk much about it. As for the matter, if it has come out, it will be stretched.” Alok’s wife, Ashu, has now moved court and filed a complaint against Vinta for defamation. 2. Rajat Kapoor Actor-director Rajat Kapoor has been accused by at least three women, including one journalist, of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault. Three anonymous accounts were posted by journalist Sandhya Menon on Twitter. The first one by a journalist recounted how he allegedly asked her questions like, “Are you as sexy as you sound?” during an interview. He allegedly tried to convince another woman to shoot a film in an empty home. In the third instance, a woman has accused Rajat of attempting to sext with her (she was 19 at the time), and then trying to kiss her eight times while dropping her back home. I don't even know any more.

He said he had tried to be a “decent man” throughout his life, and that “if” his actions had caused someone hurt or trauma, to accept his apology. “I am sorry from the bottom of my heart – and sad that I was the cause of this hurt,” he said. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart- and sad that I was the cause of this hurt to another human being. If there is one thing more important to me than even my work, it is to be a good human being. And I have tried to be that person. And now, I will try harder. — Rajat Kapoor (@mrrajatkapoor) October 7, 2018 Following the allegations, his film Kadakh was dropped from the line up of the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image’s (MAMI) upcoming film festival. 3. Kailash Kher Singer Kailash Kher has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by multiple women, including singer Sona Mohapatra. Sona said he touched her inappropriately when he met her, and then called her incessantly and at odd hours, and even told her to skip a soundcheck at a show and come to his room to “catch up.” (1) I met Kailash for coffee in Prithvi Café to discuss a forthcoming concert where both our bands were playing & after the usual, a hand on my thigh with lines likes, your so beautiful, feel so good that a ‘musician got you’ (Ram) not an actor. I left not soon after. (1) https://t.co/Cfz8Hf4sdP — SONA (@sonamohapatra) October 9, 2018 (2) That did not deter Kailash Kher though. On landing in Dhaka & on my way to the venue with the organisers, keeps calling me & when I don’t pick up, calls the organisers phone to get through to me & asks me to ‘skip’ the soundcheck & join him in his room instead to ‘catch up’ https://t.co/beBehXBLup — SONA (@sonamohapatra) October 9, 2018 3)The fact that Kailash had sung in my studios & for many projects in which I was the producer & knew me to be as strong as i am or that he had only recently taken a favour from my partner @RamSampathLive to create a personal track for him didn’t stop him. #TheHubris of such #men https://t.co/GLHvCsIPDR — SONA (@sonamohapatra) October 9, 2018 Another survivor, Simran Soni, also alleged that Kailash told her things like, “Tum meri pagli ho. Drown in my love. Tum meri jogi ho. Mirror me dekho mai dikhunga tumhe. Touching every part of your soul,” over text. (2) I was a big fan of Mr. Kher. i was in a phase, just like any other college girl, of listening to his unheard, unpopular songs and rejoicing in the lyrics. I couldnt hold back the happiness to myself. Wrote a few tweets to him, telling him how he has shaped our lives with hope — Simran Soni (@chicksim) October 8, 2018 (4) I still didnt believe anything. I thought may be this is some manager handling his account, wanting to give a fan her happy moment. But no, I got a call. And I took my own time to believe. And it was HIS voice. The conversation was good. Me telling how i cant believe. — Simran Soni (@chicksim) October 8, 2018 (7) But i didnt know the creative industry. I thought may be this is his way of his next inspiration. Next song.<doc-sep>

Highlights "Destiny shows you good times (and) bad times," Subhash Ghai tweeted Subhash Ghai has been accused of raping a woman several years ago The filmmaker strongly denied the accusations Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, accused of raping a woman after spiking her drink several years ago, tweeted on Friday that he is "deeply pained to be gripped in this movement (#MeToo)." A day after the 73-year-old filmmaker strongly denied the accusations made against him, he tweeted: "Destiny shows you good times (and) bad times. I'm deeply pained to be gripped in this movement but thank those who know me and the respect I shower to women and their dignity in spite of our cosmetic world we live and react more through our love, affection and respect Now, seen in different perspectives." On Thursday, Twitter user Mahima Kukreja re-shared an account originally narrated to her by an unnamed woman, who said that Subhash Ghai promised to be her "mentor in the film industry." She alleged that Mr Ghai often invited her to late-night sessions at his place of work - a two-bedroom flat, which she said he called his "thinking pad." The survivor also alleged that Mr Ghai forcibly tried to kiss her and touch her inappropriately and then one day, he spiked her drink and drove her to a hotel (where she a claims a "suite was always reserved for him"), where he allegedly raped her. In her account, the survivor said that she was "in and out of consciousness"; however, she remembers asking Mr Ghai to drop her home. Subhash Ghai denied the allegations and told news agency PTI: "It is sad that it is becoming a fashion to malign anyone known, bringing some stories from past without any truth or blown up false allegations if all. I deny strictly and firmly all false allegations like these." Mr Ghai also added that he'll sue the survivor for defamation if she can't prove the allegations. "If she claims this way, she should go to the court of law and prove it. Justice will be done or I will go for defamation certainly," he was quoted as saying. Many prominent film personalities have been outed as alleged predators in India's #MeToo movement. Celebrities such as Alok Nath, Nana Patekar, Kailash Kher, Rajat Kapoor and Vikas Bahl, among others have been named and shamed by survivors. Some members of the film industry have also started distancing themselves from the alleged predators - Vikas Bahl is no longer coproducing Kabir Khan-directed '83 and he will be kept away from the promotions of Super 30. Phantom Films, which he co-owned with Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena, disbanded and Mr Kashyap and Mr Motwane issued statements in which they said that they believe the accusations made against Mr Bahl. Meanwhile, on Thursday Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao issued a joint statement saying that they're backing out of a project because of sexual misconduct allegations against a team member. The person is believed to be Subhash Kapoor, who was accused of molesting actress Geetika Tyagi in 2014 and the matter is in court. Mr Kapoor is no longer directing Gulshan Kumar biopic Mogul, producer Bhushan Kumar told Indian Express. If you would like to share any information relevant to NDTV, please email worksecure@ndtv.com
