Singer Shweta Pandit is the latest Bollywood celeb to tell her MeToo story, alleging composer and singer Anu Malik of sexually harassing her when she was only in her teens.
Calling him a ‘pedophile’, Shweta shared a two-page statement on her Twitter handle, reflecting back to an incident when she was only 15 years old and had come to Anu Malik for some work.
Shweta has alleged that the musician told the budding singer that he’d only offer her work if she kisses him on his lips.
“Had to go back to my worst memory as a teenage girl today to write this and speak up – its now or never. This is my #MeToo and have to warn young girls about #AnuMalik & let you know your #TimesUp”
