Ganesh Acharya slapped with another sexual assault complaint; woman says, 'On the pretext of teaching me Jive, he kissed my neck and cheeks'

Ganesh Acharya lands up in another sexual abuse case. A senior background dancer on Tuesday approached the National Commission for Women (NCW) claiming she was sexually abused by Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya in the 90s. The allegations come almost a week after an assistant dancer filed an FIR against him for alleged sexual harassment. However, just like the first complaint, Ganesh Acharya has denied even this one. The complainant in an interview with Midday said, "It happened to me three decades ago. I have been married and have had kids, but he hasn't changed one bit. When I read about the FIR, I knew I had to speak up too. In 1990, I used to go to Sahiba hall in Andheri West where several masters take dance classes. Acharya used to assist Kamal masterji. I was 18 then and working as a non-member dancer."

The background dancer went on to share the details of the incident and said," One day, Acharya said it's mandatory to learn Jive for auditions and invited me to his class in Santacruz East. Classes were held on Sundays at 11 am. His assistant Dilip picked me up from Khar subway and dropped me to a room on the first floor of Hotel East and West. I did not suspect anything till that point. There were no other students. Acharya said Dilip has gone to bring the sound system and other students. On the pretext of teaching me Jive, he kissed my neck and cheeks. When I resisted, he threw me on the bed and said he wanted to make love to me and marry me. I kept saying no but he kept moving his hands over my body. I was too terrified and told him I am on my period. He finally got off from me and said, 'Kya yaar, mood kharab kar diya'" Earlier an assistant dancer filed an FIR against him for alleged sexual harassment.

Ganesh Acharya has defend himself and in an interview with Midday said, "I have explained in a press conference that some people are tarnishing my image because I took a stand against them. They control trade unions in the industry. My stand against them and in the interest of dancers is causing them losses. Everyone involved in these wrongdoings against me will be exposed. They may do many such things against me, but I will not give up."
