Sexual harassment and cheating at Omkar shows!

Day by day, the controversies surrounding Omkar and his shows are getting more worsened. Till yesterday nearly 20 petitions on various grounds were filed at State Human Rights Commission and today on behalf of World Dance Day, a budding choreographer named Sri Ram Reddy who had participated in Omkar shows like ‘Aata’ and ‘Challenge’ has complained it to the HRC about sexual harassment and cheatings in Omkar shows.

As per Sri Ram Reddy’s words, ‘Mr. Ashwin brother of Omkar who deals the production aspects of Omkar shows asked me directly about having sexual pleasure with dancers in my group. We faced hell of a situation at Challenge show where we were not even supplied with enough food. Dancers in my group slept with empty stomachs many a times. When I demanded for some money for the sake of my dancers, Ashwin used to indulge in between and asked me for sexual pleasure with my dancers as a return favor for the money he is offering. Although I took it on lighter vein, he continuously pressed me for the same and I was unable to believe his behavior.

Cheating is a very common aspect in Omkar shows. Bringing of senior participants aging 18 to 20 and making them participate in Junior shows was like a death blow for many other children who were really talented. Children will practice nearly two months for each show by bunking the schools and parents are still happy to see their kids on the screen. It is common human mentality but some body should take care of this.’

So, now a new tussle for Omkar to clear…
