New Delhi: Maverick producer Ekta Kapoor's 'Ragini MMS Returns' trailer left the audience waiting for the full web-series. It is loaded with a lot of intimate scenes and is surely living up to its film's counterpart.

However, reports of actor Nishant Malkani being sexually harassed by Riya Sen while shooting an intimate love making scene went viral leaving the fans in utter shock. Now, the actor has finally spoken on the issue and outrightly slammed all such rumours.

According to Pinkvilla.com, Nishant told a leading daily, “We were shooting a bedroom sequence where we had to get intimate. In the bid to make it as real as possible we were both improvising. Riya pulled my trackpants down, and that too just a bit.”

Further, he has been quoted as saying, “I was stunned with all the reports of Riya sexually harassing me. For God’s sake, I would know if I was sexually harassed. And I am man enough to own up to it if it happened. It is ridiculous to even suggest that Riya took advantage of me. If she pulled my pants down she did it for the scene. I am okay with it. She’s okay with it. Her husband is okay with it. Then who are these people shouting about sexual harassment?”

“Sexual harassment is a very serious matter. Please don’t trivialise it by using it for sensational headlines. Man or woman, it is equally important to come forward if you are sexually harassed. And I don’t think my mardaangi would be challenged if I owned up to being harassed,” he added.
