Neha came out with her #MeTooIndia story with Anu Malik, writing in reply to Sona- "I agee with you. We do live in a very sexist world. Anu Malik is a predetor, i too have run away from his strange moves when i was 21. I didn't let myself get into a sticky situation beyond him lying on a sofa in front of me talking about my eyes in a studio. I fleed lying that my mums waiting below. He even msgd and called me after that to which i stopped responding. The point is i went to give him my cd and hope for a chance at a song. He was older and shouldnt have behaved the way he did. @The_AnuMalik is an ugly pervert and does not Sona wrote back to Neha- "I have known the spunky,driven & talented @nehabhasin4u since her Viva days & know she would’ve dealt with the trauma bravely w/o succumbing.I also know 2 many who were victimised! Youngsters & parents on a reality show are desperate to win & Anu Malik has been judge for 11yrs?"View this post on Instagram
Neha writes back- "Even though i have a brave DNA Sona :) as you have known me the industry or the world was not an easy place as a young girl alone away from family due to many such Incidents or getting a hunch of such perverts. Perverts exist inside n outside our industry but why are we so forgiving to the men, do we realise that is what gives them the strength to ruin our dignity, hide us women in our houses. I hid many times so as to not get myself in a sticky situation. Why is it ok? For a man who is predetor to walk free while we hide in shame n fear?".View this post on InstagramIndian idol 11 .. Guys!

ALSO | #MeToo: Shweta Pandit accuses Anu Malik of harassment Adding more she wrote- "Last thing i wanna say is 19 to age 30 many older men tried to make their cheap advances oh ne rest assured i complained to the people i thought would bring justice. The Tv world says a womans role is of Ma, bhabhi aur behen oh yes i was told that too. So what is A man's role?" Sona has also posted an open letter for media on Facebook, sharing which she wrote on Twitter- "My open letter to #India , Media & @SonyPictures international & yes my country cares & is spreading the word. Hope you do too. We aren’t going to Shut Up anytime soon." ALSO | Singer Anu Malik DENIES allegations that he sexually harassed singer Shweta Pandit! Anu Malik had earlier denied allegations that he sexually harassed Shweta. "The allegations made against my client are emphatically denied as completely false and baseless. My client respects the #MeToo movement, but to use this movement to start a character assassination mission is obnoxious," his lawyer Zulfiquar Memon had told IANS.

It takes only a Nirbhaya level tragedy for #India to wake up? Few days after these????????,I was asked to leave my judge seat. My co-judge told me,the publicity I provided to Anu Malik took up the trps of our ‘rival’ show. (?!) A year later,a sexual predator is back on the same seat. pic.twitter.com/HFaLCOAXzZ
