Vikas Gupta has started a series on his Instagram called ‘Call them out’ wherein he has named all those people who have hurt him in the past and made life miserable for him. He has been lashing out on Parth Samthaan, Priyank Sharma and Shilpa Shinde. In his latest video, he came out as bisexual and revealed that he and Priyank were in a relationship for one and half years. He also revealed that they stayed together and did a web show during which Priyank gave him a pretty tough time.
In the video, Vikas spoke about Priyank and said, “He lived with me in this house for 1.5 years and then went on to Bigg Boss 11 with me. After BB, he worked with me on one of my shows. But after the completion of the first schedule, he started harassing me. He stopped coming for the shoot and said that his leg bone has expanded and he is in immense pain but still has to go for shoots. Priyank said that if he doesn't get operated in a month's time then he will have to amputate his leg. I'd fought with the team that give him some time because he is in pain. It's been more than 1.5 years but he still hasn't got operated for it. When the shoots were going on of this show, in between, he would reach at events and I remember he was doing bhangra at Prince Narula and Yuvika's wedding but he couldn't even walk at my shoots. I've incurred major losses for that show and people thought that Priyank is such a sweet soul, he is working despite being in pain. I started getting blackmailed that I make a post that Priyank is a great actor or else I won't come for shoots. Nobody has harassed me the way he has done during this show."
Vikas also spoke about the allegations made by Priyank where the latter said that he had to compromise with him in favour of work. Vikas said, “A video was released where my face was morphed and Priyank Sharma's face was morphed, where I am asking Priyank to compromise or sleep with him for work. Usually, I don't bother about such things but Priyank Sharma had liked this post and his fan clubs were sharing it and that affected me a lot and started threatening me that on a Friday, another video will be released. Priyank's mistake was that he liked the video, which means he agrees with what was being said in the video, which was wrong. When anyone from the press is calling him, he doesn't pick up the phone, he's not messaging them because he couldn't understand what to do. If he thinks that something of that sort (casting couch) has happened with him then he should speak up. Why isn't he?" I even suggested that if he's been a victim of casting couch then he come out in the open and speak about it, he did not. Now, this is called torturing you mentally."
Vikas also recounted an incident where Priyank tried to physically harm and intimidate him and said, “I workout at a hotel and when I went to the locker room, Priyank was pushing me and I tried to run when he threw a bottle on me. During this lockdown, he liked that post where I am asking him to compromise. This is mental harassment and Priyank is confused and mentally ill. I have already filed a complaint against them to the police and they are looking into this matter. I have proof against each and everyone of you and I have submitted it to them.”
