Bhushan Kumar's name in #metoo

Back in 2018, when the #metoo movement was at its peak and many shocking names were being exposed, Bhushan Kumar's name had also been taken. An anonymous woman had accused Bhushan Kumar of asking for sexual favours for a three-film contract with his company. Bhushan Kumar and team had then released an official statement.

The official statement

The official statement denied the allegations. It read:

"I am appalled and anguished to know that my name has been dragged in this metoo by some anonymous person(s). The allegations against me are bad on the face of it. I have enjoyed an impeccable reputation and have always maintained professionalism. The tweet has been used as a tool to defame me and malign my reputation. I have taken this allegation very seriously and lodging a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police to track the mysterious people(s) whose twitter handles have disappeared within seconds of uploading the malicious tweet. I'll take all such actions as I will be legally advised."

Sonu Nigam vs Bhushan Kumar

In 2020, Sonu Nigam had also warned Bhushan Kumar on social media. He had shared a video and said, "Bhushan Kumar, now I have to mention your name. And now, you deserve being addressed without respect. You have messed with the wrong person. Do you remember, Marina Kanwar? I don't know why they backed out, but the media knows how the mafia functions. I still have that video with me. Now if you mess with me, I will upload that video on my YouTube channel. So don't mess with me".

Reacting to his claims, Bhushan Kumar's wife, Divya Khosla had shot back in another video. Divya had accused Sonu Nigam of being thankless and selling lies against her husband.
