    What's the story

    Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who was accused of raping a woman, has now been accused of molestation by actress Kate Sharma.

    She has alleged that Ghai tried to forcibly hug and kiss her at his place in August.

    And now in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Kate has filed a molestation complaint against Ghai at Mumbai's Versova police station.

    Here's more.

    Kate's statement

    Ghai tried to kiss me forcibly and threatened me: Kate

    Narrating her ordeal, Kate said that Ghai called her to his place and asked for a massage in front of 5-6 people.

    Reportedly, he then took her to his room under the pretext of discussing something. He then hugged and tried kissing her forcibly.

    Kate also alleged that he threatened to not launch her if she denied sexual favors.
