On another occasion, Mahajan says that Khare informed her that women who were “much better looking” than her were “dying to go out for drinks” with him. Then he lamented that she remained unmoved by his advances. At an office event, he told her that his wife was jealous of her. He would often berate her for her looks, telling her she had a “weight problem” and if she took offence, he would say, “I’m only joking, why do you take me seriously?”
