Later the third actress came with the heavy allegation against Vikas Bahl revelling that at a party pretend to be drunk and tried to kiss her.

One day he was having a party where a lot of people I knew were going so I felt safe. But he got drunk (or pretended to be), and he forcibly tried to kiss me on the lips, I pushed him and left immediately, and he acted not to see me leaving. At least 20 other people were at this party. I left in a rush went to my boyfriend’s house because I was so disgusted, but he kept sending me texts – saying “Why did you leave, I could have dropped you”. I wasn’t drinking, smoking, smoking up or doing anything, had just had my dinner and gone with some writer buddies. That’s his strategy, he pretends to be drunk.

As a result of accusations on Vikas Bahl, Phantom is closed. Also, he is dropped from an upcoming Amazon series.

Hrithik Roshan, It is impossible for me to work with any person if he/she is guilty of such grave misconduct.


There’s been no reaction from Vikas Bahl so far on the allegations.

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.
