Actor Mohan Kapur, who is known for playing the role of Kamala Khan's father in Disney+ Hotstar series Ms Marvel, has been accused of sexually harassing a minor and asking for/sending objectionable pictures.
The victim has alleged that the actor sent her photos of his d**k.
Sharing her ordeal on her private Twitter account, the 15-year-old victim said that the actor's ex-partner knew about this but was 'gaslighting' her.
In the now-viral thread, she wrote, "When I was 14 years old, I was a fan of this serial actress & we became friends. Her partner at that time @mohankapur also became friends with me. I respected the both of them almost like 2nd parents, & told them about my stressful life. But @mohankapur took advantage of me."
"We constantly talked until I notice he started flirting with me. Then when I was 15 years old @mohankapur sent his d**k pics to me. He was apologizing nonstop & was depressed…. I forgave him. But after that he continued to harass me. Said things like how he was in love with me, wanted to marry me, wanting me to grow up to be with him, and can’t wait for me to get older so I can sleep with him. Now I know that @mohankapur was grooming me," she added.
Recalling her last conversation with the 57-year-old actor and voice artist, she wrote, "My depression got worst and I was planning to take my own life…. I kept on calling @mohankapur… he ignore my calls… and at times told me to get over it. Then completely twist the whole story to make me look like the bad person… he kept on saying that he can’t trust me…The last time I talked to @mohankapur was 2020 and I was crying… I said I really can’t take any of this anymore…. Hoping that he would apologize & understand the trauma he had cause. Instead he told me that he can’t trust me and the only way he can trust me again is if I hop on video chat and send nudes to him in order to be friends with him again. #metoo @IndiaMeToo #MeToo."
The actor and his ex-partner are yet to react to the accusations. Mohan has also restricted his Twitter handle.
The actor has also worked as a voice artist and has dubbed for Hollywood actors including Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hardy, Nicolas Cage, and Jackie Chan. He also voiced Doctor Strange in Hindi dubs of his various appearances throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In India, the #MeToo movement saw several actresses as well as other women coming out and accusing actors and filmmakers of sexual misconduct and misbehavior.
