Male model accuses Bobby Darling of sexual abuse
New Delhi: Just days after singer Sonu Nigam accused a film journalist of sexual harassment, similar allegations have been levelled against Pankaj Sharma, better known as Bollywood's Bobby Darling, by a male model.
Bobby has been accused of sexually harassing a model named Surjit Jagdish Singh.
Singh has alleged that Bobby promised him modelling assignments in return of sexual favours, and on refusal threatened to boycott Singh in the television and Hindi film industry.
“Bobby Darling has told me that she would never let me come up in the industry. She also told me that she would not let me work anywhere and even if I get an opportunity she will make sure that I am out of the project soon,” Singh said.
A case has been registered against Bobby in Mumbai's Oshiwara police station under Sections 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
Bobby, in fact, has been in the news for all the wrong reasons off late. Last month, television actress Dolly Bindra alleged that Bobby had conspired against her in a case of cheating with actor Koena Mitra.
According to Bindra, she had approached Koena with a role in her film. After the initial talks, Bindra gave Rs 5 lakh as a token amount to Koena in November. But later, Koena refused to work in her film and avoided her phone calls.
According to Bindra Koena was misguided by Bobby and director Alok Shrivastava.
Bobby who played herself in filmmaker Santosh Sivan's National Award winning film Navarasa was conferred with the best supporting actor award at the Monaco International Film Festival last year.
