Sushant Singh Rajput was the latest Bollywood actor to get embroiled in the ongoing #MeToo movement, in which a number of females are speaking out against their alleged ‘past-molesters.’
The ‘MS Dhoni’ actor was accused of sexual harassment by co-star Sanjana Sanghi, who is set to appear alongside him in the upcoming flick, ‘Kizie Aur Manny.’
Sanghi had recently accused Sushant of making her feel ‘uncomfortable’ with his alleged ‘over-friendliness’ and ‘flirtatious’ behavior.
The claims were immediately rubbished by the movie’s director, Mukesh Chabbra who denied that any form of harassment taken place on the set of his film and it is now Sushant himself, who has come forth with his stance on the allegations.
The actor came full-proof, as he not only denied all the accusations made by Sanjana, but also uploaded screenshots of their personal chats, suggesting that they only indulged into random friendly talks.
Here is what the actor said:
“The last thing worth doing is to defend yourself of the fiction created by an agenda. People using this much-required campaign for their personal agenda is too much to ignore. So here is the text conversation with Sanjana till the time I shot for the film. I let you decide.”
Sushant further added:
“I feel sad to reveal personal information but it seems that there is no other way to state what actually happened, in the midst of this curated, well timed and agenda driver smear campaign. From the first day of the shoot till the last day, this is what happened on the sets with Sanjana. Misconduct ? Not at al. Agenda ? You decide.”
And here are the screenshots:

And for all those deliberately using the missing of Twitter ‘blue tick’ to substantiate their false claims, allow me to tell you that it is not there since 5th of September. Get your facts checked before jumping to conclusions that you so eagerly want to. pic.twitter.com/9iIUWo8RKZ

Sushant, has extended his support to the metoo movement, but he also expressed his worry about the very movement being hijacked by those who probably want to use it for their own personal greed and gains.
