On Thursday, filmmaker Subhash Ghai strongly denied the allegations made against him after his name cropped up in the #MeToo account of an alleged survivor, who accused Mr Ghai of allegedly raping her a 'long time ago' after having spiked her drink. Dismissing the #MeToo movement as a 'fashion' in his response to the rape allegation, Mr Ghai told news agency PTI: "It is sad that it is becoming a fashion to malign anyone known, bringing some stories from past without any truth or blown up false allegations if all. I deny strictly and firmly all false allegations like these." In a separate interview to ANI, he reiterated his previous words and added he's always been respectful towards women: "I've always respected every woman in my life and at workplace."
