Rajkumar Hirani First Seen On Atul Agnihotri's Instagram After Sexual Harassment Accusations

A few months ago, director Rajkumar Hirani was alleged of sexual harassment by an assistant director of the film 'Sanju'. Although many celebrities have voiced their support for the director-producer, Hirani had to deal with lots of pressure and problems after the scandal broke out on social media.

Rajkumar Hirani was removed from the poster of Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, the Sonam Kapoor starring film he was producing. His film Munna Bhai 3 was also postponed until there is an official announcement on his case.

Lately, Rajkumar Hirani appeared in a photo taken with producer Atul Agnihotri. This is the first time Hirani was seen in public after the allegations. Atul Agnihotri posted the photo on his Instagram account with the caption:

Earlier, Rajkumar Hirani has denied all the sexual harassment allegations saying that he was in shock when being noticed about the accusations two months previous. He assumed that it was just a made-up story and false accusation because instead of taking the matter to a legal committee, the accuser chose to report it to the media.

Model-actress Dia Mirza has spoken up for the director saying that she was distressed by the news. Dia Mirza has been acquainted with Hirani for fifteen years and said he was one of the most polite people she had worked with.

She refused to speak on the matter because she didn’t know any further details.

Arshard Warsi also voiced his support and said the news came as a terrible shock to him, as to everyone else.
