Madhur Bhandarkar may finally have reason to smile. Under a cloud after actress Preeti Jain accused him of raping her several times over the past five years, Bhandarkar has vocal support from actors in his upcoming film, Page 3. How can anyone believe such a cock-and-bull story? There is no reason Madhur should defend himself. Preeti is a smart woman, no one can take advantage of her without her consent. Above all, no woman can claim after five years of sleeping with a man that he raped her.
Dolly Thakore When Preeti wanted to make use of her body for a favour, she thought it was right. One fine day, she realised Madhur was not going to keep his promise and decided to register a rape case. This is ridiculous. Ive known Madhur for over five years and it is difficult to believe he would exploit someone like this.
Kunika Lall Madhur is a thorough profess-ional, a good director and a nice friend. I feel bad for him and his family.
