The incident took place on Thursday night in a hotel in Juhu
Mumbai: The director of an upcoming Hindi film Mumbai Can Dance Saala has been booked on charges of molestation and assault for allegedly seeking sexual favours from an aspiring actress and touching her inappropriately.
The incident took place on Thursday night in a hotel in Juhu, wherein people had gathered for music launch of the film.
“The victim slapped the movie’s director Sachendra Sharma on the stage and he slapped her back,” said actor Rakhi Sawant.
The victim said “About a month ago, Sharma told me that he would give me an item song if I slept with him. I declined his advances. Last night, when I went there to support Rakhi, I came across him again. He touched me inappropriately and said I should have not declined his offer,” she said.
