The #MeToo movement has taken over bollwood on full swing and the new name which came forward is Kher. However this isn’t the only accusation, other women are also coming forward to support Hemrajani’s accusations.
Kher gave his statement to a leading daily explaining how he is sorry if someone has ever felt harassed in his presence. “For all those who know me and have come across me , will know how much I respect humanity , especially women, even more for the ones who work in media since their work is difficult.”
He was accused by Hemrajani in a twitter thread;

My #MeToo has singer Kailesh Kher & model Zulfi Syed, from when I was a newly appointed young woman photographer at Hindustan Times in Bombay, 2006.
Tweeting this thread for all to draw strength & speak out

I was sent with my colleague, a woman journalist, to take pictures of Kailesh Kher at his home for an interview. During the interview, this creep sat between us as close to us as he could. He also kept putting his hands on our thighs (on the skin above our skirts)— Natasha Hemrajani (@radiantbear) October 6, 2018

We were appalled & left as soon as possible. I discussed with my colleague the idea of writing the interview from the point of view of unwelcome sexual molestation but she said the paper would never publish it because it would be libel (even if we were both witnesses)— Natasha Hemrajani (@radiantbear) October 6, 2018
Other accusations are made by another journalist from Muscat to a journalist in Bangalore;

Kher further told the leading daily how he was traveling for a gig when he heard about this news. He further added in his statement “ I got extremely disappointed to know what my state of happiness has been taken for. I am neither aware of such act that has been mentioned not remember it. I am almost all the time in my own simple world , but in case anyone has taken or thought something differently about anything , then it is my sincere apology. My devotion to music makes me who I am and I’m thankful for all the love and support.”
