Me Too Movement: Sheena Bajaj: Sonal Vengurlekar is just blackmailing my father for money
Sonal Vengurlekar has now come forward to share her ordeal. She faced sexual advances by Raja Bajaj. Now, Raja Bajaj's daughter Sheena Bajaj has come to her dad's defense and told a leading entertainment website that Sonal is blackmailing her father.
Sonal Vengurlekar, who was last seen in Saam Daam Dand Bhed, recently shared her horrifying sexual harassment encounter. Sonal was just 19 years old back then when photographer and casting director Raja Bajaj tried to forcibly remove her clothes claiming that he could teach her tantrik vidya. Well, now Raja Bajaj's daughter Sheena Bajaj has come out in defense of her father and told a leading entertainment website that Sonal is blackmailing her father.
"It's a false allegation, absolutely false. Sonal is just blackmailing my father for money. She was someone who at that time had just entered the industry to pursue her career and earn money. If my Dad has done something wrong, then she should have gone to the police and complained about that first, rather than calling my mother and narrating the entire incident to her. She first demanded 5 Lakhs and then reduced the amount," Sheena said.
Sheena continued, "My point is that if something wrong happened to you, why will you demand money. Then she asked for 3 Lakh and then claimed 1.5 Lakh. And when Dad refused to give money and told her to complain, she then went to the police station. Still, she is asking for money and telling us that she will withdraw the case if we give her money."
Sheena made a valid point on the credibility of #MeToo cases. She said, "I agree with this movement. Almost 80% of the cases are right. But what about the rest 20% people who just do this to gain fame? And when the incident happened nobody saw there were lot of people. All of them heard incident no one saw it."
India's Me Too Movement has finally knocked the doors with many women sharing their heart-wrenching stories out in public without hesitating even for an ounce. They are naming their sexual offenders and the list is endless. Be it an actor or a journalist or a politician - everyone has come in the wave of one of India's biggest movements, Me Too.
