FIR against choreographer Ganesh Acharya

An FIR has been filed against celebrity choreographer Ganesh Acharya by a woman assistant choreographer Divya Kotian for “forcing” her to “watch porn videos”.

A copy of the document obtained by IANS claimed that after Acharya became the general secretary of Indian Films and Television Choreographer Association (IFTCA), he would frequently call Kotian at the IFTCA office at Veera Desai, Andheri (West) and Mukti Rehearsal Hall.

Kotian has further told the National Commission for Women unit in Maharashtra that Acharya has been “depriving” her to work in the film industry and “demanding commissions” from income.

According to the legal document, Acharya said that whenever a coordination of any song was done, she was asked to pay Rs 500 per dancer to Acharya, else she was not allowed to do any coordination in the industry. As she could not pay, he later asked her to be his assistant which she denied as Kotian wanted to work independently.

The complainant also claimed that whenever Kotian reached Acharya’s office she would find him watching porn videos.

“Whenever I used to reach his office for any work I always found him watching porn videos and he even asked me to watch the porn videos. He also stated that even I will enjoy watching porn videos.

“Listening to this I lost my temper and I knew he was a womaniser and involved in gambling and cricket batting too so I will complaint against you to the association and police (sic.),” it read. (IANS)
