Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai has strongly denied the sexual assault allegations made against him by actor Nehal Vadoliya. In a statement released on Wednesday, Ghai called the accusations “false” and warned of legal action against anyone attempting to “malign” his reputation.
“I want to make it clear that any individual attempting to malign my reputation or my companies and team members through false allegations will be held accountable under the law,” Ghai said.
**Legal Warning Against Defamation**
Ghai’s statement emphasized the importance of following the proper legal channels rather than resorting to social media for airing grievances.
“Our legal team is prepared to take strict action against any such defamatory attempts. If anyone has a genuine grievance, the correct and rightful course is to approach the police or the appropriate legal authorities,” he added.
He further criticized the use of social media to spread unverified claims, calling it “misleading to the public” and “unlawful.”
**The Allegations**
Nehal Vadoliya, known for her role in *House Arrest*, recently shared in an interview that Ghai misbehaved with her during a visit to his house. Vadoliya was dating Ghai’s manager at the time.
According to her account, what began as a casual evening took an uncomfortable turn when Ghai started complimenting her looks and calling her “very sexy.” The situation escalated when he allegedly followed her near the washroom and attempted to kiss her.
**Aftermath and Personal Impact**
Vadoliya expressed her anger toward her then-boyfriend for putting her in the difficult situation, saying, “I told him, ‘Where have you brought me? You are his manager, meaning you already knew all these things.’”
The incident left her shaken and also led to the end of her relationship. “I broke up with my boyfriend after that. He was not worth trusting,” she revealed.
