Actress Sonia Malhar accuses young Malayalam star of misconduct

Actress Sonia Malhar has publicly accused a prominent young star in the Malayalam film industry of serious misconduct. Speaking to Mathrubhumi News, the actress alleged that the actor in question grabbed her inappropriately on a movie set in 2013.

Sonia recounted that the incident occurred in Thodupuzha when she was working as a junior artist. She claimed that the actor, without her consent, physically grabbed her, and she had to forcefully free herself from this.

According to Sonia, the actor later apologised for his behaviour. She has chosen to reveal this incident now to encourage young women in the film industry to speak out about their own experiences and stand up against harassment.

Meanwhile, following the release of the Hema Committee Report, several female artists have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against members of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA).
