#Metoo: AIB comedian Gursimran Khamba accused of sexual misconduct, apologises
After comedians Utsav Chakraborty and Kanan Gill were accused of sexual misconduct, an anonymous woman also accused Gursimran Khamba of a similar behaviour. The woman admitted that she hung out with Khamba and also hooked up with him but he later developed feelings for her which she did not reciprocate. “This was followed by him being angry and nasty and abusive,” the woman alleged. He was also accused of making drunk calls, and emotionally blackmailing and abusing the woman for not reciprocating his advances.

Within no time, Khamba categorically denied the allegations and said that he was “not forceful”.He said that “I categorically deny any violation of consent.”
Kanan Gill had also issued an apology as soon as somebody accused him. The girl who accused him also accepted his apology.
With all this outing happening right now, am actually really surprised nobody has mentioned Kanan Gill. He was drunk & behaved inappropriately with me & a couple of friends at a mixer few years ago.
We then kept distance, but his actions seemed to suggest a pattern of behaviour.— Magali Vaz • Magalic.com (@magali_c) October 5, 2018
