An anonymous woman had recently alleged that filmmaker Subhash Ghai spiked her drink and then sexually assaulted her. Now actor-model Kate Sharma has also spoken out about allegedly being sexually harassed by Ghai. Sharma has filed a police complaint, claiming that the filmmaker tried to forcibly kiss her.

ANI quoted Sharma as saying. “He called me at his house on 6 August. Five to six people were present there and he asked me to give him massage. I massaged him and went to wash my hands. He followed me, called me to his room to talk and tried to kiss me.”

Mumbai Mirror writes that when Sharma requested to leave, Ghai said he would not help launch her career.

Ghai had also tweeted in response to the allegations expressing his support for the #MeToo movement. He also added that his lawyers will take care of the matter.

The #MeToo movement, which gained momentum in India after Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of touching her inappropriately on the sets of a film in 2008, has led to women calling out many prominent personalities from the media and entertainment industry like Alok Nath , Sajid Khan , Vikas Bahl and Bhushan Kumar  for having allegedly sexually harassed them.
