Bollywood actor Richa Chadha and director Indrajith Lankesh recently launched a 2019 calendar inspired by their film Shakeela. In this calendar, Richa is showcased in 12 different avatars of Shakeela. Post the launch, the actor fielded questions on the recent sexual assault allegation against Rajkumar Hirani.
“He (Hirani) is one of the directors with the cleanest image, you must not forget that. There have been others who were accused but nobody said anything,” Chadha said.
When asked why the industry is silent in this case, and if powerful people try to close these cases to keep their images clean, the actor said, “It isn’t about a power structure. I think everyone is hesitant because they don’t know the facts of the case. Legally, a publication is allowed to run a story because they vet it with their legal team. But it is an anonymous allegation. I am not defending him or the girl either. I have learnt it the hard way. A friend of mine was falsely accused.”
However, Richa Chadha maintained that one must take a legal route in such cases as “lot of people suffer in trial by media.”
