Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai has strongly denied the sexual assault allegations made by actor Nehal Vadoliya. On Wednesday, Ghai issued a statement calling the accusations “false” and warned of legal action against those attempting to “malign” his reputation.
In his statement, Ghai said,
*”I want to make it clear that any individual attempting to malign my reputation or my companies and team members through false allegations will be held accountable under the law.”*
He further added that his legal team is prepared to take strict action against defamatory attempts.
*”If anyone has a genuine grievance, the correct and rightful course is to approach the police or the appropriate legal authorities. Resorting to social media to spread unverified claims for publicity is not only misleading to the public but also unlawful,”* the statement read.

### The Allegations
Nehal Vadoliya, known for her work in *House Arrest*, had alleged in a recent interview that Ghai misbehaved with her during a visit to his house. Vadoliya was dating the filmmaker’s manager at the time.
According to Vadoliya, what began as a casual evening soon turned uncomfortable when Ghai started complimenting her looks and calling her “very sexy.” She claimed the situation escalated when Ghai allegedly followed her near the washroom and attempted to kiss her.

### Aftermath
Vadoliya expressed anger at her then-boyfriend, the manager, for putting her in such a situation.
She said,
*”I told him, ‘Where have you brought me? You are his manager, meaning you already knew all these things.’”*
The incident left her shaken and led to the end of her relationship.
*”I broke up with my boyfriend after that. He was not worth trusting,”* she added.
