Anu malik accused of being a peodophile By singer shweta pandit.
India’s #MeToo awakening has shaken Bollywood to its very core. With several bigwigs accused of sexual harassment and misconduct in the past few weeks, veteran music composer Anu Malik was alleged with similar assertions.
It has taken a lot in me to open up this wound again and speak up against this pedophile and sexual predator,” Shweta Pandit wrote on Twitter. “It was the year 2000 when I was launched as a lead singer with Mohabbatein. I got a call from Anu Malik’s then manager to come sometime in mid 2001. I was thrilled like any singer would be,” she went on.
She added, “He asked me to sing something without any music as he wanted to hear my voice. I remember I sang the title song of Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega as a voice test for this man.”
She then said Malik told her to give a chance to sing with Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan (who are big names in Bollywood’s playback singing scene) “if he gave her a kiss first.”
“He then smiled, what I’d recall the most evil grin I’ve seen. I went numb and pale in the face. I was only 15-year-old then, still in school. Can anyone even imagine what it felt that moment? It felt like someone had just stabbed me in my stomach,” added the sing
Pandit, however, isn’t first woman to have accused Malik of harassment. Sona Mohapatra, in an interview with Hindustan Times earlier revealed that she faced harassment by the hands of music composer.
