'Daayan': Mohit Malhotra reacts to Tinaa Dattaa's sexual harassment allegations
Ekta Kapoor's Daayan recently grabbed headlines after actress Tinaa Dattaa accused co-star Mohit Malhotra of touching her inappropriately. Tinaa alleged that, despite repeated warnings, Mohit went too far during the intimate scenes and made her uncomfortable. While the news has left Daayan fans shocked, Mohit was also taken aback by the allegations leveled against him. In fact, he dismissed all the allegations vehemently.
Nothing of this sort has ever happened: Mohit
Reacting to the sexual harassment allegations, Mohit stated that nothing of this sort ever happened and claimed everything was captured on camera. He also stated that Tinaa never spoke to him ever about being uncomfortable during any show. "If she was uncomfortable, why didn't she tell me? We shoot on a set with 50 people watching us and everything is on camera," Mohit added.
Mohit accuses Tinaa of changing her statements frequently
Furthermore, Mohit alleged that Tinaa has been changing her statements frequently. "After saying nothing happened, now she has gone back to giving contrary statements. I have been working in the TV industry for 11 years and have shot with many women and no one has ever had any issues with me," Mohit was quoted saying.
It was going on since a long time, claims Tinaa
To recall, it all started after Tinaa alleged that Mohit touched her inappropriately on Daayan sets while shooting an intimate scene. She also claimed that this misbehavior was going on for a long time. "I went public only after it became so much that I couldn't take it anymore. Nobody gives excuses like him that 'woh scene mein bahek gaya tha'," Tinaa had stated.
Meanwhile, Ekta Kapoor holds a meeting with Tinaa and Mohit
Miffed with the incident, Tinaa raised the matter with the production team. And while the controversy surrounding Daayan continues, it was reported that producer Ekta held a meeting with Tinaa and Mohit regarding their conflict. We wonder what will be Ekta's stand on this.
