The #MeToo movement has hit hard several big names in Bollywood and media industry and the campaign has gained momentum over the past few days. Women from all walks of life are now coming forward to tell their tale of #MeToo. The latest to join the bandwagon is filmmaker- Nishtha Jain, who has accused journalist and Mallika Dua’s father Vinod Dua of stalking and sexual harassment. Jain took to Facebook to write a detailed and long post mentioning how she met the journalist and what happened afterwards.


The ‘Gulabi Gang’ director alleged Vinod Dua of telling a ‘lewd sexual joke’ when she met him for a job interview in 1989.  She accused him of demeaning her during the job interview, stalking and slobbering all over her face.

Jain also called out Vinod Dua for his outrage against Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar for passing sexist comments against his daughter Mallika Dua.

''He had friends in my office who would inform him when I would be working late. One night as I came down to the parking, he was there. He said, he wanted to talk to me and asked me to enter his car - a black SUV/Jeep, I don't remember the make as I'm not into automobiles. Assuming that he wanted to apologise for his behaviour, I entered the car but before I could even settle down he began slobbering all over my face. I managed to get out and get into my office car and leave. I spotted him again in the parking in the coming nights and would go right back and wait till someone was ready to leave along with me in the office car,’’ Her post read.

Here’s her full post.


Vinod Dua’s daughter Mallika Dua has reacted to the allegations made by Nishtha Jain by issuing a statement on Twitter. The popular comedian said that if the allegations against her father are true then it is unacceptable, painful and traumatic.

Vinod Dua is yet to react to the allegations leveled against him by the filmmaker.
