Mumbai: Pyaar Ka Punchnama director Luv Ranjan has denied sexual misconduct allegations against him, saying he has never misbehaved with a woman.
He has, though, apologized if his actions made someone uncomfortable.
“Since the time I have read the allegations, I have been wanting to shout out loud that everyone has gone mad, I have been wanting to scream that I am not this man, I have been wanting to clear my name. Friends and Family have shown great support, support that has made me indebted to them for life,” Ranjan said in a statement.
“I am very aware of the fact I am the man who made ‘Pyaar ka Punchnama’ and it becomes very easy for someone who doesn’t know me personally to believe that I am guilty. Am I guilty? I have never misbehaved with a woman, never touched a woman who isn’t in love with me and I with her, I haven’t sexted, flirted, molested or harassed a woman,” added the ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ maker.
“After getting rid of my anger towards the whole thing I have come to realise a few things — it doesn’t matter that I believe I haven’t done anything wrong, what matters is that someone has felt wronged.
“I have made a lot of effort in life to make women around me feel safe and comfortable which women who have known me or worked with me will vouch for. I have never intended to hurt someone, and taken utmost care to make sure that I don’t and in my heart I know I haven’t.”
“I apologise for not being able to communicate my intent. I apologise for not being able to make someone feel that I am the man that I have aspired to be and I believe I am.”
