Vivek Agnihotri alleges his nephew was sexually assaulted in Bollywood
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has claimed that his nephew, who was trying to break into the film industry, was sexually assaulted by a middleman of a top actor and director.
In the midst of the Me Too campaign focused around cases of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, Agnihotri’s admission comes as somewhat alarming. He took to Twitter earlier to make the revelation.
On of my nephews came from US to try his luck in Bollywood. Introduced him to the middleman of India’s top star & Producer/director. He was promptly invited where he was propositioned, molested & sexually exploited by the most powerful. Left India forever. Many stories like this.
