Actor Sonia Malhar, who filed a sexual harassment case against fellow Malayalam actor Jayasurya, today said she will not back down despite the accused calling the allegations 'false' and threatening legal actions.
"He (Jayasurya) is calling the allegation false. It is not a false allegation. My statement is very true and very clear. This is the 1st FIR I have ever filed in my life," the actor told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
Ms Malhar is one of many women actors who have spoken up after the Justice Hema Committee report revealed the dark underbelly of the Malayalam film industry, where sexual abuse and exploitation have been rampant for decades.
