Actor Shekhar Suman for taking up the side against the wrong happened at the set of Padmavati had to face harassment for condemning the attack.
Says the source close to Shekhar, "He was just pointing out that they should not have taken the law into their hands. But the groups accused him of disrespecting the Rajput community. He has always maintained that he respects every community. On Sunday, things took a turn for the worse when around 300 members of the Rajput Karni Sena protested outside the auditorium in Indore. After that, Shekhar received a call from the hotel where he was staying, informing him that 300 people were protesting there too. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, 100 people from Gujarat's Mahakal Sena landed up to protest outside his house. After a couple of hours, they left a letter with the contact number of their head, Sanjay Rathore."
The source continued, "Shekhar chose to settle the matter quietly rather than approaching the police. Shekhar met Sanjay Rathore, leader of the Mahakal Sena yesterday, and explained that it was not his intention to insult any community. The meeting lasted a couple of minutes. By the end of it, Rathore appealed to the members of the Sena through a video to not harass Shekhar and his family."
Also Shekhar confirmed that the events as detailed above had happened.
