Sanjana Sanghi Reacts To Kangana Ranaut’s Claims of Responding Late To Harassment Rumours against Sushant Singh Rajput

Dil Bechara actress Sanjana Sanghi has broken her silence and finally reacted to Kangana Ranaut’s claims of delayed response and why she did not clarify the MeToo allegations against Sushant Singh Rajput when he was alive.

A few days ago, Kangana's team wrote on Twitter:

"Many blinds claimed tht Sushant raped Sanjana,such news abt her harassment wr common in those days,Why Sanjana took her own sweet time to clarify?Why she nvr spoke so passionately abt her friendship with him when he ws alive? @mumbaipolice cn investigate."

Speaking to Zoom, Sanjana reacted to the same saying ‘nobody has the authority’ to judge if her response was fast enough or not. “I have said more than enough about what happened. Also, I’ve given a clarification which should have been enough. At that time, it wasn’t late, nobody is in authority to decide what’s late and what’s not. You don’t fuel rumours. It is not the responsibility or job to clarify rumours,” she said.

Furthermore, Sanjana also added that it is inappropriate to call this incident a ‘MeToo Case.’ “So, we shouldn’t disregard the #MeToo movement by calling it “Me Too” because Me Too is when there’s an actual issue. But when two people are trying to say there’s no issue, that’s not called the Me Too movement that’s rumour mockery and that shows the power of unethical reporting,” she said.

Previously, during the shooting of Dil Bechara, several reports made the rounds accusing Sushant of harassing Sanjana on sets. Back in October 2018, Sushant had revealed screenshots of his chats with Sanjana to shut down the rumours. I feel sad to reveal personal information but it seems that there is no other way to state what actually happened, in the midst of this curated, well-timed and agenda-driven smear campaign. From the first day of the shoot till the last day, this is what happened on the sets with Sanjana. Misconduct? Not at all. Agenda? You decide,” he had written in an Instagram post. 

Sanjana too had clarified in a tweet saying, “I’d like to clarify that no such incident took place with me. Let’s put an end to these conjectures.”

Cut to today, Sanjana Sanghi concludes: “I am a student of journalism, I’ve studied at Delhi University and that’s not the journalism I was taught. So, I don’t see it as the Me Too movement. For me, apparently getting late in giving clarification for rumours, but I did it still because it was important for us, Sushant and me.”

Meanwhile, Sushant and Sanjana’s film Dil Bechara premiered yesterday on July 24, 2020, and has been receiving outpouring love from the audiences.
