Nivin Pauly Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

Renowned Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly, known for his successful films like “Bangalore Days” and “Premam,” has recently been embroiled in controversy amidst a wave of sexual assault allegations sweeping the Malayalam film industry. The allegations, stemming from the Hema Committee report, have implicated several prominent figures in the industry.

Reports surfaced online claiming that a police case had been filed against Nivin Pauly and five others in the Oonnukal Police district. The case, allegedly filed by a woman named Shreya, alleged that she was invited to Dubai under the guise of discussing a film project but was subsequently sexually assaulted.

These allegations quickly gained traction, leading to negative online commentary targeting the “Premam” actor. However, Nivin Pauly swiftly dismissed the claims as baseless rumors, asserting his innocence and vowing to take legal action.

In an emergency press conference held on Tuesday night, Nivin Pauly categorically denied knowing the woman who had filed the complaint. He emphasized that the allegations were unfounded and had caused significant distress to him and his family. Pauly stated his unwavering commitment to proving his innocence and expressed his willingness to go to any lengths to achieve justice.

The sexual assault allegations against Nivin Pauly come amidst a broader reckoning within the Malayalam film industry, with several other prominent figures facing similar accusations. The Hema Committee report, which has gained significant attention following the resignation of actor Mohanlal from the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), has shed light on the pervasive issue of sexual harassment in the industry.

As Nivin Pauly prepares to defend himself in court, the case is expected to garner significant public interest and raise further questions about the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the Malayalam film industry.
