Hina Khan Slams Shilpa Shinde Over False Harassment Claim
MUMBAI – Television actor Hina Khan has weighed in on the controversy surrounding actor Shilpa Shinde’s recent admission that she falsely accused television producer Sanjay Kohli of inappropriate behavior and molestation in 2016.
Without naming Shinde directly, Khan criticized the use of false allegations in a series of social media posts.
“I usually never talk about anyone, I never comment or react on someone else’s business, I only and only speak up when it is about something sensitive, something that affects all of us as a society especially as women. As someone who enjoys public light and has a position to speak up, I must do my bit.” Khan wrote.
In another post, she criticized the use of false allegations during personal or professional disputes.
“Yes, using your Sex to malign someone’s image in order to Win during a conflict is absolutely shameful. And everyone is Absolutely Right to Call it out and demand Justice. I am shocked beyond words.”
Khan also expressed sympathy for Kohli, the producer of the television show ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!’, saying the controversy had affected not only him but also his family.
“But I want to talk about the ‘Real Victim’ here. A respected Man with a wife, a daughter and many other women in his family. A real hardworking producer with many iconic shows. Who went through such an ordeal. As admitted by the Female Actor, her allegations were not just baseless, they were used to gain advantage, to win, to score, to claim, to settle without the use of Law.”
She further questioned why the same producer later gave work opportunities to the actor who had made the allegations.
“And even after that, the SAME producer gives the SAME show to the SAME person. Another LAUNCHPAD, another MOUTH PIECE, another RELEVANCE, another CHANCE to legitimize her Fake Claim of SEXUAL ASSAULT. What if the Actor repeats it? After all the actor has been given the same show by the one she FALSELY ACCUSED.”
“I AM APPALLED. THE JOKE IS ON US.”
Khan’s comments come after Shinde appeared on a podcast hosted by comedians Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, where she acknowledged that her allegations against Kohli were false.
The admission triggered criticism on social media, with many users calling for legal action against Shinde.
Responding to the backlash on June 4, Shinde released a video statement saying she did not regret telling the truth and no longer wanted to live with the guilt of keeping the matter hidden. She said she was unconcerned about criticism and believed she had done the right thing by making the admission. (IANS)
