#MeToo: More trouble for Rajat Kapoor? Woman alleges veteran actor tried kissing her 8 timesAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Oct 10 (AZINS) The #MeToo campaign has taken not just the entertainment industry, but everyone at large by storm.
With several women opening about the harassment they experienced, sexual predators are getting exposed.
Even actor-filmmaker Rajat Kapoor has been accused of misconduct by two women earlier, and now yet another woman has accused the man in question.
Journalist Sandhya Menon had only a couple of days back shared a post, wherein two women had accused the Kapoor & Sons actor of alleged sexual harassment.
One of the two women is a journalist, who stated that while she was interviewing Rajat Kapoor on the phone, he misbehaved and asked her questions such as 'are you as sexy as you sound', while also inquiring about her body measurements.
Another woman narrated an incident where the actor would keep bothering her and calling her for a film's shoot and asked her if she knew an empty house.
In the light of these statement, another anonymous victim has accused Rajat Kapoor of alleged sexual misconduct.
In yet another post shared by Sandhya on her Twitter handle, the alleged victim elaborated the entire incident that took place.
She said that she used to call him Sir, while he (Rajat Kapoor) would address her as a 'little bitch' and ask her to call him 'master'.
Even though she knew what it meant, she let it go, thinking that she was taking her idol all wrong.
"He used to message me on Google hangout with his history off (but I kept a few screenshots)- messages were mostly attempt at sexting and my reply alwaysm,“ she wrote.
She further mentioned that when she moved to Bombay at the age of 20, she met him at a public place in Bandra, and post the meeting, the actor offered to drop her home.
Despite refusing several times, he insisted, before the girl finally agreed.
This 45 minutes journey from Bandra to Town, is decribed by the lady as the most horrific journey of her life.
"Through the journey, he tried to hold my hand, touch my cheek. I felt the most scared I have felt in my life when he stopped his car somewhere before the sea-link in a dark area, I was cold. He tried kissing me, not once, not twice, 8 times. I counted.
Me: I look up to you
Rajan Kapoor: Does that mean you can’t kiss me?Me: you are married Rajat Kapoor: My wife has cheated on me too. We don’t believe in monogamy. Till the time he dropped me home, he kept Trying to kiss me. I would freeze and push. I was scared, I was alone, I was teary-eyed. I had only been in Bombay for around two weeks and was an intern in a production house. I was young and I was petrified, I did not want to make him angry. I quickly left his car when we reached my building ran up to my room, cried for two hours before I fell asleep. The same day, Rajat Kapoor messaged me again on hangout and spoke about how he missed my lingering lips. I avoided him from that day onwards," the victim elaborated.
These incidents of sexual harassment have primarily come to light after actress Tanushree Dutta alleged that Nana Patekar sexually harassed her.
