Ganesh Acharya responds to harassment accusations: Being targetted since I'm supporting dancers over dance coordinators
The complaint against Ganesh Acharya has been filed at the Maharashtra Women's Commission and Amboli Police Station.

A 33-year-old woman has reportedly accused dancer and choreographer Ganesh Acharya of depriving her of work and demanding commission for getting her work projects.
The complainant has further alleged that Acharya, who is also the General Secretary of Indian Film and Television Choreographers Association (IFTCA), forced her to watch adult videos.
However, Acharya claims that these allegations are false and that is being targetted owing to his stance in the IFTCA. "I haven't met her [the complainant] personally. Such allegations will come up as I have taken a stand against coordinators and supported dance masters and dancers. Why should the federation have dance coordinators? Due to exploitation by these coordinators, today dancers are in the worst condition. Since I'm supporting dancers and dance masters, I am being targetted. And I will continue to fight against them and will keep supporting these dancers. I'll file a defamation case agaisnt them, as I want to teach them a lesson," the choreographer told Firstpost.
