#MeToo: How can SRK work with Karim Morani, questions 21-year-old rape victim

The Indian #MeToo movement has taken pace as shocking names come out in the open after another. The latest addition to that is Karim Morani, producer of Happy New Year, Chennai Express and many other movies.

Karim Morani allegedly got the victim in question drunk and raped her, leaving marks on her body.

The survivor revealed details in an interview to Republic saying, “Morani came home around 7 pm with a bottle of wine. I didn't drink but he forced me to drink. Next thing I know, I wake up at 4am. I was numb and shocked. Physically and mentally, I was in a state of shock. Karim was not there. I saw there were marks on my body when I woke up.”

When she confronted Morani, he laughed! She recounts, “I found the courage and called him next day. I confronted him and asked him - what did you do to me? I told him I'd call his wife and brother. He just laughed over the phone. Can't forget that laughter. I felt helpless. I was 21.”

After repeated threats from Karim Morani of circulating her nude pictures to getting her eliminated by the underworld, the victim recalled that he would confine her and rape her. “The after effects were that I stopped talking to people, stopped working, became a recluse. It wasn't just one time. He came over a couple of times more. It was 12th Sept 2015 and he calls me and says I want you to come here. I was scared he'd circulate my nude pictures to family. He sneaked me into the room. He didn't even let me leave,” shared the victim.

“I don’t know how SRK could work with him. I don’t want to drag SRK into this but how can such an icon work with this 2G accused and support a man like this. Nobody spoke out about me or backed me up. How can top actors like SRK work with him?” questions the victim.
