FLASHBACK: When singer Alisha Chinai filed a sexual harassment case against composer Anu Malik!

Scandals are not just limited to the film industry. With so much of casting couch related stories doing the rounds in fashion and film world, one cannot forget the big scandal that shook the entire music industry in the late 90s.

Alisha Chinai was slowly rising the charts as the Indian pop queen, with chartbuster hits like Made In India and she was simultaneously singing for Hindi films too. Anu Malik too was on the rise, with all his songs hitting the bulls eye and getting great revenues for the film teams. 

It was then that Alisha made a shocking allegation against Anu. The singer filed sexual harassment charges against the composer and accused him of sexual misconduct. She claimed that Anu had molested her and things turned ugly when she demanded Rs 26.60 lakhs as compensation. 

Malik had vehemently denied all charges back then. In spite of all the drama that was caused, what happened next was shocking! Anu filed a defamation suit against Alisha worth Rs 2 crore. And then, Alisha and Anu swore to never work with each other again. 

But strangely, 6 years later, in 2002, Alisha sang a song for Anu in Ishq Vishq, which was the launch pad of Shahid Kapoor. She even appeared on Indian Idol as a judge with him, years later. Guess all's well between the two now.
