After several comedians were accused of sexual misconduct on social media, Jeeveshu Ahluwalia is also accused of misbehaving by a woman.
The woman wrote anonymously — Jeeveshu asked to meet for dinner. I had one glass of wine and in his car afterwards. I was terribly drunk. He stopped the car somewhere and forced me to give him a blow job. He then dropped me home.

Wherein the woman wrote anonymously that during her meeting with Ahluwalia for an interview, he made her uncomfortable by asking her age, whether she was seeing someone and why she could not wear “hot dresses”.
Apart from this there’s also several accounts of women who have mentioned being extremely uncomfortable and threatened around him. Some audience members and some women comics themselves. I believe them all.

The comedian apologized on twitter and later released a statement:
If I have made any woman uncomfortable with my words, actions, I m deeply sorry & will continue to be. I don’t think there can be ever any acceptable explanation or justification fr making a women feel the way I perhaps may have & therefore, I m my offering any. Again my sincerest apologies

It’s a shame how this count is increasing every day. Women’s are speaking out. All started with Tanushree Dutta, AIB came, Utsav Chakraborty, Anurag Verma from HuffPost India, also Jeeveshu Ahluwalia. Rajat Kapoor, Alok Nath, Gaurang Doshi from Bollywood with Vairamuthu the Tamil lyricist as well. MJ Akbar is also accused by several women’s. It’s actually difficult to recall all the names as these are coming thick and fast.
