 "Stunt director Sham Kaushal accused of sexual misconduct, apologises 'unconditionally' in statement")
On 14 October, stunt director Sham Kaushal was accused of sexually harassing an assistant director on an outdoor film set in 2006. In a Facebook post detailing the alleged incident, Nameeta Prakash, said Kaushal invited her to his room to have vodka after the wrap up, an offer she refused. Despite the action director’s insistence, Prakash held her ground. The next moment, according to Prakash’s account, Kaushal pulled out his phone and showed her a pornographic clip, without her consent.

The incident also led to Prakash completely avoid working with Kaushal on future projects. She would ask production houses to let go of her if Kaushal was also a part of the project in question. As per her post, only one production house decided to boycott Kaushal on hearing her account.
