MUMBAI: Actress Luviena Lodh, who's married to Mahesh Bhatt’s nephew Sumit Sabharwal, shared a video accusing the Bhatt family of harassing her.
In the video, Lodh has alleged that Sabharwal used to supply drugs to Bollywood actors, including Amyra Dastur, and Mahesh Bhatt is well aware about the same.
Accusing the filmmaker and his family of troubling her, Lodh said, "Mahesh is the biggest don of the industry, he operates the entire system. If you don't play by his rules, he will make life difficult for you. Mahesh Bhatt has ruined a lot of lives by putting them out of work. He makes one phone call and people lose their job. Ever since I filed a case against him, he has been trying to enter my house and remove me from this house.
In the 1.48 minute-long video, she further stated, "if anything happens with me or my family, the only people responsible will be Mahesh Bhatt, Mukesh Bhatt, Sumit Sabharwal, Sahil Sehgal and Kumkum Sehgal."
"People should know what all these people can do behind closed doors, because Mahesh Bhatt is extremely powerful and influential," she said.
According to a report by Times of India, Mahesh Bhatt's lawyer has refuted the claims made by Lodh and threatened legal action.
"With reference to video released by one Lavina Lodhi. We, on behalf of our client Mahesh Bhatt, refute the allegations. Such allegations are not only false and defamatory but have serious consequences in law. Our client will take such action in accordance with law as advised," said Vishesh Films' counsel.
