Questioning the media when asked to respond to the allegations against him, Sonam Kapoor, a website reports, asked what would be the way further if the accusations were not true. Pointing out that she has known Hirani for many years, she says she harbours respect for him.
According to a HuffPost India article on January 13, a woman "assistant" to Hirani claimed the filmmaker sexually abused her on more than one occasion over a six-month period between March and September 2018 during the making of Sanju. The 56-year-old filmmaker has denied the allegation.
