Director Vikas Bahl was accused by actor Kangana Ranaut for misbehaving with her at the sets of Queen after a former employee of Phantom movies accused the director of serious sexual misbehaviour. “Every time we met socially greeted and hugged each other, he'd bury his face in my neck and hold me really tight and breathe in the smell of my hair. It took me great amount of strength and effort to pull myself out of his embrace," the actress said, adding that she "could tell something is wrong with him," the actor said.

And now, Vikas's ex-wife Richa Dubey has come out and slammed Kangana for misusing the #MeToo movement. "I want to ask all the women — if a man makes you uncomfortable and touches you inappropriately, would you have a good friendship with that man?" she wrote on Twitter.

She said that she was baffled at Kangana who went "wining and dining" with him, despite Vikas's alleged misbehaviour.  "I read the several messages between you and Vikas which were extremely friendly till now. With this media opportunity, everything changed?" she questioned.

Richa feels, a "strong, fearless, gutsy person" like Kangana could have easily told Vikas off if she had a problem with his behaviour.

Kangana had also attacked Hrithik Roshan in a recent interview and said, "People who keep their wives as trophies and keep young girls as their mistresses should also be punished." She confirmed that she was talking about Hrithik and said that he should be boycotted as well.

Richa slammed Kangana for her comments and said that having an affair with a married man was "a woman's prerogative". She also took on the media for reporting the media irresponsibly without checking the other side for facts.

Kangana retaliated by saying "Another ex-wife for her ex-husband's rescue. My only question is, why do they leave their holier-than-thou husbands in the first place? Stop this bullshit that we had a friendly divorce, perfectly amicable, and we are a family. You don't wake up one fine morning and divorce a godly man, so please help us secure our work environment and make sure these men don't spoil more lives."
