Chetan Bhagat has apologised in a Facebook post after a woman journalist shared a WhatsApp chat on social media during a #metoo movement that has seen several women accuse public figures of sexual harassment. Bhagat said in his post on Saturday that he wanted “to make a couple of points about the screenshots that someone has shared,” and that he was “really sorry.”
Bhagat also said that he put up the post after having a discussion with his wife Anusha, to whom he has been married for 20 years.
“But first of all, I am really sorry to the person concerned. The screenshots are of course real and I am sorry if you felt they were wrong. I hope you will accept my apology,” wrote Bhagat.
The screenshots shared, Bhagat says “After a long time someone committed me and could keep up with my pace of thought”. In his Facebook post he said “Maybe I was going through a phase, maybe these things just happen, or maybe I felt the person felt the same too based on our conversations (which I don’t need to repeat here). However, it was stupid of me, to feel that way and to even share that with her.”
