Chetan Bhagat offers apology to woman who accused him of harassment via FB, says sorry to wife too

Chetan Bhagat on Saturday took to Facebook to express his apology to the woman who accused him of harassment. He also sought his wife Anusha's forgiveness after screenshots of his conversation went viral.
 

 
 

New Delhi: Amid Tanushree Dutta Nana Patekar controversy row, in yet another #MeToo moment, a woman recently accused renowned Indian author, Chetan Bhagat, of harassment while sharing her conversation with him on social media. In its response, Bhagat on Saturday, in a long Facebook post, admitted to having had the conversation, which was revealed in the screenshot publicised by the woman. He also took the social media platform to publically apologise to the woman as well as Anusha, his wife of 20 years.
 
The screenshots of his conversation, after being uploaded by the woman who has reportedly accused him of harassment, were shared virally all over social media. In the conversation, Bhagat can be seen trying to ‘woo’ her.
 
Soon after the screenshots of their conversation went viral, the author took to his social media handles in order to express his apology and admit the fact that he actually had a conversation like that, but it was from several years ago.
 

To his defence, he said that he certainly felt a connection with the woman, the kind he hadn’t felt in a while. He also clarified that there were no obscene words or pictures exchanged and that he deleted the number of the accuser soon after and they hadn’t been in contact for years.
 
He then went on to publicly seek the woman and his wife’s apology in his long post. He also claimed that he ran the post past his wife in order to make sure that she was okay with it.
