He Called Me to His Bedroom: Sreelekha Mitra’s Shocking Allegations Against Filmmaker Ranjith

In a startling revelation, acclaimed Bengali actress Sreelekha Mitra has come forward with serious allegations against renowned Malayalam filmmaker Ranjith. This disclosure comes in the wake of the recently released Hema Committee report, which exposed multiple instances of sexual harassment within the Malayalam film industry. Sreelekha’s claims have reignited discussions about the safety and treatment of women in the entertainment industry.

The Allegation

Sreelekha Mitra, a prominent figure in Bengali cinema, revealed her traumatic experience during an interview, where she accused Ranjith of inappropriate behavior during an audition for the 2009 film Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha. According to Sreelekha, Ranjith invited her to his bedroom under the pretext of discussing the role. During the conversation, he allegedly touched her bangles and later began to caress her neck, making her extremely uncomfortable. Disturbed by the incident, Sreelekha excused herself and left the room, fearing for her safety throughout the night.

Ranjith’s Response

In response to Sreelekha’s allegations, Ranjith has categorically denied any wrongdoing. He stated that the meeting took place in the presence of screenwriter Shankar Ramakrishnan and two assistants. According to Ranjith, Shankar narrated the story to Sreelekha, who seemed enthusiastic about the project. However, Ranjith decided not to cast her in the film and asked Shankar to convey this decision to her.

The Broader Context

The Hema Committee report has cast a shadow over the Malayalam film industry, revealing the darker side of the glamorous world. Sreelekha’s allegations against Ranjith have added fuel to the fire, highlighting the need for a safer and more respectful environment for women in the industry. Her bravery in speaking out years after the incident is a reminder of the lasting impact such experiences can have on individuals.

As the controversy unfolds, it remains to be seen how the industry will respond to these serious allegations. Sreelekha Mitra’s courage in sharing her story may inspire others to come forward, potentially leading to a much-needed change in the film industry’s culture. The focus now is on ensuring that justice is served and that the industry takes concrete steps to protect its members from such experiences in the future.
