Another MeToo allegation and this time it is against famous painter Jatin Das, father of actor, director and writer Nandita Das.
Nisha Bora said that she met Jatin Das through her family during a dinner event in Delhi in the summer of 2004 at a dinner event at the India International Centre, Delhi. According to Nisha, at the event the painter asked Nisha to assist him for a few days to organize his work material and since she was a huge fan she agreed to it.
Nisha Bora met the painter at his studio where Jatin Das forcefully kissed her on the lips.
Nish wrote, "I visited Jatin in his studio, which was in Khidki Village. I don’t recall the time of day, but that it was well within daylight hours. He poured himself some whiskey; offered me one too, but I refused. The next thing I knew, he attempted to grab me. I wriggled out of his embrace, flustered. Then he did it again. This time, he managed a clumsy kiss on my lips. I recall the feeling of his beard on my skin. I pushed him away, and moved away from him. At that moment, he said, Come on, it would be nice. Or something like that. What I recall clearly was his disbelief that I was pushing back. "
Nisha Bora posted that she received a call from Nandita Das, who had received Nisha's number from her father, to help her find a young female assistant like her. "At that time, I recall that phone call felt like a knife being twisted in my gut, because I had so, so much admiration for her, and it had all become so incredibly filthy that moment," Nisha wrote.
