As part of MeToo movement, actor Kritika Sharma had accused Vicky of sexually assaulting her six years ago in an interview to Zoom. Vicky had denied the allegations.

Kritika had claimed that she first met Vicky in Delhi while auditioning for a role about six years ago. She later came to Mumbai for work and had to stay at Vicky’s house as she faced financial constraints. The actor had said she felt it would be safe as Vicky stayed with his wife.

However, she claimed he took her to an empty apartment the next day and sexually assaulted her.
