Back in 2018, in the middle of “MeTooMovement” in the Bollywood industry, Kumar was accused of sexual harassment by an anonymous Twitter user. In the tweet, a woman, an actress claimed that she was dropped from the film because she “refused to sleep with the ‘boss’.”
Kumar released a statement, denying the sexual harassment allegations against him. In his note, he claimed that the #MeToo allegations were being used as a tool to malign his reputation.
He stated to PTI that, “I am appalled and anguished to know that my name has been dragged in this #MeToo by some anonymous person(s). The allegations against me are bad on the face of it. I have enjoyed an impeccable reputation and have always maintained professionalism. The tweet has been used as a tool to defame me and malign my reputation,”.
