Actor Rahul Raj Singh has alleged sexual harassment by writer Mushtaq Sheikh. He says actress Tanushree Dutta, who spoke about her harassment, gave him the courage to address his "demon". "I didn't realise I was the first male victim (of sexual harassment) to come out. Believe me, there are so many others boys like me who come here to become an actor and are subjected to a kind of exploitation they had never imagined or even heard of," said Rahul.

"Why do we presume that only women get sexually exploited? Men too are raped, brutalised, harassed and bullied". Rahul felt it was important for him to let the world know what Sheikh had subjected him to.
