In a recent turn of events, actress Marina Kuwar's claims against Bhushan Kumar, the head of T-Series, have come up again. During the #MeToo movement, singer Sonu Nigam used Marina's name in a video where he criticised Bhushan Kumar. Marina said that Bhushan Kumar showed her his private parts and did other weird things.
The fight over T-Series has gotten worse since the song "Pasoori Nu" from the movie SatyaPrem Ki Katha' came out. Ali Sethi and Shae Gill's cover of the famous song "Pasoori" by Pakistan Coke Studio has caused a lot of trouble. On the day the song came out, a supposed Twitter account for Arijit Singh said that Bhushan Kumar's company had offered to pay for education for poor children. In the middle of this dispute, people on social media found an old video in which Marina Kuwar said Bhushan Kumar had done something sexually wrong.
Sonu Nigam talked about Marina in a video where he was criticising Bhushan Kumar. This made Marina's name more well-known during the #MeToo movement. This happened in 2020, when Sonu Nigam yelled at Bhushan Kumar in public and told him not to get involved with the wrong person. Sonu Nigam remembered times when Bhushan Kumar asked for his help and safety. For example, Bhushan Kumar asked Sonu Nigam to do an album with him, introduce him to important people, and even help him when Abu Salem threatened him. Sonu Nigam told Bhushan Kumar not to talk to him, and he brought up Marina Kuwar to make it sound like he had a video of her. He said that if Bhushan Kumar made him angry, he would put the video on his YouTube account.
But Marina Kuwar finally came forward to talk about what had happened to her. Marina talked about what happened in an interview, she said that Bhushan Kumar had asked her to meet him at a café, but he showed up in a car with darkened windows instead. Marina also said that Bhushan Kumar had suggested they go somewhere private because the media was always following him. He took her to a house that didn't look like an office and then tried to force himself on her and make unwanted moves. During the talk, a video of what Marina went through was shown.
In reaction to the video, angry Internet users praised Marina Kuwar for being brave enough to expose Bhushan Kumar and criticised the industry for being too focused on power and money. Some people wondered if Bhushan Kumar had been accused of sexual harassment by more than just Marina Kuwar. Again, the event made people worry about how often this kind of bad behaviour happens in the entertainment industry.
