Former Miss India and actor Niharika Singh is the latest name to join the #MeToo movement. She has penned a long post about the #MeToo movement and written about her own experiences in the glamour industry. Journalist Sandhya Menon shared a series of tweets where Niharika wrote her experience. Niharika wrote that she was writing the piece to “expand my own understanding of what constitutes abuse, who we choose to punish and whom we are willing to forgive”.

In her account she wrote about her experiences with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sajid Khan and Bhushan Kumar. Talking about Nawaz in the post, who was her co-star in Miss Lovely she wrote, ““One morning, when I was home and he had been shooting all night, Nowaz sent me a text saying he was near my building. I invited him over and asked him to come and have breakfast with me. When I opened the door, he grabbed me. I tried to push him away but he wouldn’t let go. After a little coercion, I finally gave in. I wasn’t sure what to make of this relationship. He told me it was his dream to have a Miss India or an actress wife, just like Paresh Rawal and Manoj Bajpayee. I found his little confession funny but endearing.”

Niharika went on to reveal why she ended her relationship with Nawaz. She wrote, “In the next couple of months, I began to discover one lie after another. Nowaz had engaged multiple women, giving each one a different story; one of them even called me from his phone and started yelling at me. I also found out about a woman he’d married in Haldwani, whose family had sued him for making dowry demands. I told him to clean up his mess, be honest with himself and everyone around him; also that I did not want to see him again.”

Earlier Nawazuddin had retracted his memoirs after his former girlfriends Niharika and Sunita Rajawat had rubbished and refuted the claims made by the actor in his book.
