Sorry from the bottom of my heart: Rajat Kapoor after being accused of sexual harassment

After two women accused him of sexual harassment, Bollywood actor and filmmaker Rajat Kapoor offered an apology on social media.

Recently, a Twitter user shared a post in which the two women accused the actor of misconduct. One of them, a journalist, said Rajat Kapoor during a telephonic interview in 2007 asked her uncomfortable questions. She was allegedly asked questions such as “Are you as sexy as you sound?”. The journalist said she tried to ignore the questions but Kapoor continued to ask such questions throughout the interview.

Another woman alleged that Rajat constantly called her from his actor friend Saurabh Shukla’s phone and would ask her if he wanted to shoot a film with her at an empty house.

I am sorry from the bottom of my heart- and sad that I was the cause of this hurt
to another human being.

If there is one thing more important to me than even my work,
it is to be a good human being.
And I have tried to be that person.
And now, I will try harder.
