One of the Bollywood legendary filmmakers, Subhash Ghai, has accused a woman of rape. Mahima Kukreja, a woman who accused of sexually assaulting Utsav Chakravarti on the Kamadeyan festival, shared screenshots of conversation with the victim. The victim shared the entire incident with her.
The woman said:
‘It all happened when I was working in a film with Subhash Ghai. He told me that he would guide me and move forward. There was no godfather or friend in my industry, so I said to them. In the beginning, he used to take me to the recording studio where I had to sit down with many male members for late night. Later one day, he slowly kept his hand on my thigh and embraced me and said that I had done a great job.

Then he started calling me for a script session in his small apartment located in Lokhandwala. He used to say that he used to read scripts along with other actresses there too. When I arrived there, he was alone. His wife did not live there.
Instead of the script, he began to tell me how they all misunderstood in the industry, and I am the one who likes them. He started pretending to cry and put his head in my lap. When he was getting up, he forcefully kissed me. I told only two more girls about this, along with whom Subhash Ghai had behaved like this.
One evening it was late after music session Subhash Ghai decided to take a drink. There is always a drink in his car. He gave me a spiked drink, and I thought he is dropping me home. But he asked driver Babu to take us to Lonavla. I was getting into the senses. Whenever the senses come, I will ask where we are going and leave me the house.
He took me to the Fariyas hotel. Where he often go to write, and they have a suite ready for him. I was wobbly, but he held me and took me to the suite. He took off my jeans, and he mounted me. I was trying to scream, but he put his hand on my mouth and was also not very lucid because of the drug in my drink. I cried, and then I lost consciousness. Next morning when I wake up, he had toast. The couch had red marks, and it was scattered. Sunlight screamed at me, and I got vomited.

Talking to PTI, Subhash Ghai denied all these allegations. He said — It is unfortunate that the name of one another is being defamed by sharing the old and baseless stories on social media. I completely reject all the allegations.
