Earlier reacting to his removal from the Aamir Khan film Mogul, Subhash Kapoor had told the same portal, “I understand and respect Aamir khan’s and Kiran Rao’s decision. Since matter is subjudice, I intend to prove my innocence in the court of law. But I do want to raise a question – is secretly filming a crying woman without her consent and knowledge and uploading it on social media not harassment or abuse? Or is it fine if she is related to someone who is “allegedly accused”of a misconduct. If your answer is latter then for me it’s nothing less then a khaap panchayat mentality.”
