Grover posted a response on Twitter, beginning it with, “Really unfortunate that these completely fabricated and defamatory allegations have been made on me…”
Rebutting the allegations, Grover wrote: “I was in IT-BHU (not “BHU”, as account says). We didn’t have a “dramatics society” (as account says). We had what was called a “Theatre Club”. In fact, we had we had no “society” in IT-BHU at that time, only “clubs”. I never wrote or even imagined any play in college based on Tilottama or Vishwamitra (as the account claims). This can again be crosschecked with any of the… people who were in the theatre club during this period…
In college I directed ONLY TWO plays and only ONE of them in 2001…We never used to rehearse at the “music club”. Music club didn’t even have a dedicated room… I NEVER called ANY WOMAN alone for any rehearsal for ANY play or skit — not in 2001 not ever…
