Actress Sruthi Hariharan created a sensation with sexual harassment allegations against Hero Arjun Sarja. She accused Action King of inappropriately touching her back and hugging tightly without seeking permission while rehearsing a romantic scene for 'Kurukshetram'. Arjun, however, rubbished the sexual abuse allegations and moved a defamation suit seeking compensation of Rs 5 crore in the Bangalore City Civil Court. Sruthi maintained she is ready to fight the long drawn battle for what she believed is right.
Kannada Film Industry was divided into two groups due to the controversy. While some of them have been backing Sruthi, Almost equal number of Film Personalities are supporting Arjun in this issue.
Senior Hero Ambareesh took the initiative to end the controversy with a compromise between both the Actors. Sruthi Hariharan, however, refused to even see the face of Arjun again. So, Ambareesh decided to meet them separately and make them speak to each other over phone if possible.
Karnataka Film Industry has been trying it's best to end the controversy. Although Arjun is willing to end the issue, Sruthi isn't ready to compromise at all because any such move would send wrong indication to the public.
