Subhash Ghai says, ‘All is well now’ on X after recent health scare
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital in the Bandra area of Mumbai on Saturday, has issued a public statement thanking his followers for their concern.
Model and actress Kate Sharma, who joined the Me Too movement and accused filmmaker Subhash Ghai of sexually harassing her, has withdrawn her case. The actress took the complaint back four days ago by sending a note to the DN Nagar Police station, as per a Mid Day report.
Kate accused Subhash Ghai of asking for massage in front of people and then later groping and forcefully kissing her.

“Our officers approached Sharma again to record a detailed statement so we can begin our inquiry into the matter since she had sought some time earlier to give the statement owing to her mother’s ill health. However, she then informed us in a written note that she wants to withdraw her case as her mother is unwell and she wants to take care of her family,” a police officer told Mid Day.

When the daily reached out to the actress, she said, “Yes, I have informed the Mumbai Police that I want withdraw my complaint against Subhash Ghai. I want to take care of my family and my ailing mother instead of roaming here and there to get justice for whatever has happened to me. I had never told my family about what happened; they saw me on TV and were completely disturbed.”
“People are really making fun of the entire #MeToo campaign. Nothing has happened, nobody has been arrested. If cops are only busy registering FIRs, then what is the use of this entire campaign? Tell me, how many people have been arrested? Cops asked me if I wanted to register an FIR, but I don’t see any reason for moving ahead to get justice as whatever I had to say is in the public domain. We [Ghai and her] were very good friends, but he destroyed everything; I’ve said this publicly and I’m saying it again. I am fed up of everything, hence I have withdrawn my case,” she added.
Earlier, addressing the accusations against him, Ghai took to Instagram and wrote, “Destiny shows u good times bad times-I m deeply pained 2b gripped in this movement but thank those who know me n my respect I shower to women n their dignity in spite of our cosmetic world we live n react more thru our love affection n respect Now seen in different perspectives. Which is very sad.”
