Am a great supporter of the 'MeToo' movement, women empowerment: Subhash Ghai

New Delhi, Oct 14 (UNI) Filmmaker Subhash Ghai on Sunday said he is a great supporter of the 'MeToo' movement and women empowerment but hoped that those taking undue advantage of the movement do not end up diluting it for their own short-time fame.
The comments by Ghai came after a molestation case was filed against him on Saturday evening by model-actress Kate Sharma, who alleged that the 73-year-old filmmaker tried to "forcibly kiss and hug her when he had called her to his house".
In a tweet, Ghai said he felt grieved that someone was trying to harm his reputation.

Ms Sharma alleged that Subhash Ghai called her to his house on August 6.
This is the second allegation against Ghai, who earlier this week, was accused of allegedly raping a woman several years ago after having spiked her drink.
