Jani Master Faces Rape Accusations Amidst National Award Win

Renowned choreographer Jani Master, fresh from his National Award win, has found himself embroiled in a significant controversy. A 21-year-old woman, who was once a part of his dance troupe, has accused him of rape and harassment. The woman claims that Jani Master began to misbehave with her when she was a minor and that he threatened her to keep quiet.

The allegations have quickly spread across social media, prompting widespread condemnation. Singer and dubbing artist Chinmayi Sripada, known for her vocal support of women’s rights, has expressed her solidarity with the victim. In a tweet, Sripada stated, “Jani Master basically started abusing this girl when she was a minor according to the report. I truly wish this girl all the strength to fight through this.” She also shared an article from The News Minute covering the allegations and retweeted a post by Dhanya Rajendran on the same subject.

In response to the serious accusations, the Janasena party, of which Jani Master is a member, has instructed him to refrain from party duties until the matter is resolved. Jani Master, a prominent choreographer in the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi film industries, has worked with several leading actors including Allu Arjun, NTR, Ram Charan, Vijay, Rajnikanth, and many others. He began his career with the film “Drona” and has also served as a judge on the popular dance reality show “Dhee.”

The National Award-winning choreographer is married to Ayesha and has two children. This recent scandal has cast a dark shadow over his professional and personal life. As investigations continue, the public awaits further updates on the case.
