#MeToo accusations without complaint not authentic: Kailash Kher

Singer Kailash Kher, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment, has said that in his view if a person is not making a formal complaint and just continues to accuse, it is not authentic.

A few months ago, singer Sona Mahapatra had shared her alleged unethical experience with the singer. Soon after that, at least four other women raised allegations against him.

Sona, in an interview, had said she would not lodge a police complaint against the singer but would make sure he doesn't repeat his alleged actions in future.

Reacting to the same, Kailash said, "Everyone has their own thinking. If I accuse someone only by taking that individual's name over and over again then, nothing will come out of it. If you will take legal recourse against that person, then it becomes another matter altogether.

"If I tell you that I will not make a complaint against that individual, but still I will accuse him of doing certain criminal activity, then I feel it's not an authentic complaint," he added.

Does he feel Sona's allegations are baseless?

To this, the Teri Deewani crooner retorted, "No. I will not decide what is right and what is wrong. I have never accused someone. I am living my life. We are simple human beings and we focus on creating music."
