#MeToo: Ira Trivedi sends legal notice to Chetan Bhagat; reveals complete mail trail with author

A week after author Chetan Bhagat termed Ira Trivedi's #MeToo accusations against him as 'false' and released screenshots of his conversation with her, the 'The 10-Minute Yoga Solution' author has now issued a legal notice against him.

Talking to Mirror Now, Trivedi said that Bhagat had lied to his 12.3 million Twitter followers when he had responded to her allegations on October 15. In his tweet, Bhagat shared a screenshot of Trivedi's email that was signed off as 'Mis u kis u', and said “who kissed whom”.

Trivedi said that by his tweet, Bhagat was trying to imply that "I, an unmarried young woman, was trying to kiss him, a much older married man."


She added that she had 'shot off' the email in a hurry and the word 'kiss' was simply a figure of speech, but that Bhagat had used it to malign her reputation.

"He is maligning my reputation, and that is why I'm taking him to court," she said.

Earlier, Trivedi had shared her complete email exchange with the ‘2 States’ writer with 'The Quint'.

On October 15, Bhagat had responded to Trivedi's accusations against him by calling her charges "false" and saying "these motivated, fake attacks is abhorrent and the sickest thing a person can do."





Trivedi has also accused Suhel Seth of sexually harassing her 5 years ago in a piece in 'Outlook'.

Before this, Bhagat was also accused of harassing a journalist through an anonymous tweet. He had responded to the allegations with an apology on Facebook directed at the victim and his wife Anusha.
