Comic Kaneez Surka Wednesday accused Aditi Mittal of sexual harassment, claiming the fellow comic "forcibly kissed" her on the mouth two years ago at a comedy show.
The popular improv artiste, alleged Mittal violated her boundaries of personal choice and "humiliated" her in front of an audience of 100 and many comedians.
In the account shared on Twitter, Surka said, "Two years ago, at a comedy show, I was hosting at Andheri Base, in the presence of an audience of 100 and many comedians, Aditi Mittal walked up on the stage and forcibly kissed me on my mouth out of the blue and put her tongue in my mouth, while I was still on the stage and without my consent.
"It left me humiliated, shocked and completely stripped of choice. Every person is entitled to choice and boundaries and she violated mine."
