Madhur Mittal Was Very Devoted To The Accuser

It appears  to be one more case  of a long-standing relationship gone sour. Young actor MadhurMittal  stands accused of rape by his former girlfriend,whom  he was  all set to marry, according to  Madhur’s  friend.

So what  went wrong? When I   reached  out to Madhur  Mittal who  has  obtained some  legal relief by being granted  anticipatory  bail, he  refrained  from comment.

All he  was willing to say on record was, “As   the  matter  is sub judice, my lawyers  have advised me to refrain from any interaction with the media till  the  law takes it course. And I’ve  faith that the  truth  shall prevail.I’ve  never been in a situation like this  in my life before. I just hope that it doesn’t ruin  my career  even before  it has begun  properly.”

Madhur’s apprehensions are  not unfounded. Even if  the charges are proven wrong it  would be the easiest thing in the world to blacklist him to  win  brownie points in  the  MeToo movement.

A  source  very close to Mittal told  me, “He is under extreme  stress, not for himself but his family who are  deeply embarrassed and scared. His legal fees  are way beyond what he earns as  an actor. This is a lady Madhur wanted to marry and would have  done absolutely anything  for.Even if  his name is  cleared who will compensate  him for  all the  monetary and mental  stress?’

Madhur Mittal shot to fame  as  Salim in Danny Boyle’s  Slumdog  Millionaire ,  playing Dev Patel’s elder brother. His career did  not take off  thereafter. He was  last seen in the RaveenaTandon rape-and-revenge  drama Matr which flopped.

Madhur is  known  among his friends as  kind, sincere, caring.

“He  was  very  devoted to his  girlfriend.We  don’t know what went wrong,” a  friend of his  reveals.
