Last week’s news from the entertainment world had certainly left us all shocked. According to a leading tabloid, has allegedly molested a female colleague during a trip to Goa a few months back. This has resulted to him being ousted from the Phantom production company. A blind item reported on April 5 about a filmmaker’s expulsion due to his involvement in a molestation case, had left everyone guessing. It then came to notice that one of the Phantom Film’s partners is involved in the same. Vikas Bahl, who himself is one of the shareholders of the company, decided to step out from the position. The matter was then brought to other Phantom partners Anurag Kashyap, Madhu Mantena, and Vikramaditya Motwane, but soon the news went on to Reliance Entertainment with whom Phantom has a 50:50 partnership. However, Vikas Bahl denied any such allegations and on his part said that he has no idea why someone is doing this to him. Other Phantom partners have also spoken up in the director’s support. Kangana Ranaut, who was Bahl's leading lady in Queen, has reacted to the whole issue. The actress was asked about the whole issue and she reacted in the favour of the victim. Here’s what she said, "We are here to talk about a brand, but what you mentioned is a serious topic. But whoever faces such situations and speaks up is courageous. Generally speaking, they should be encouraged to talk about it by their family, colleagues. They should not be shamed. Obviously, there will always be another side to the other story. But people should speak up, whether it is right or wrong."
