Kumar made headlines first when a female 'staffer' under the pseudonym Indian Fowler posted a blog at medium.com, accusing him of sexual advances at the workplace, and his several attempts to exploit her during her tenure between 2014 and 2016. In the response section, another female employee shared her ordeal at TVF, saying that she "had to face a similar experience while working there. I felt exploited and cheated and I left my job under very bad circumstances". SHOCKING! TV actor Parth Samthaan booked for MOLESTATION by Mumbai Police; POCSO charges added!
