Cinematographer Pratik Shah, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct by several women last year, has apologised. He said, "I am truly sorry and ashamed. But I am committed to learning from my failures and earning back trust through my actions."

Cinematographer Pratik Shah, who worked on films and web series like Jubilee, CTRL, Homebound, and others, last year faced allegations of sexual misconduct, emotional abuse, and predatory behaviour from multiple women. After the controversy, he was reportedly dropped from a couple of projects, and now he has shared an apology.

While talking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Pratik, in a statement, said, "I want to address the online allegations made against me last year. I am deeply remorseful for the mistakes I made and the hurt that I have caused, both in my professional interactions and in my past personal relationships. Looking back, I recognise that I allowed the increasing attention and growth of my career to cloud my judgement, leading to actions that were self-centred and wrong. I operated out of insecurity and a misguided yearning for validation, and I regret that I did not stop to consider the power I wielded as a person of privilege and influence."

He further said, "However, I soon realised that arguing details did not change the reality of my mistakes. The breakdown of my reputation and relationships was the direct result of my own poor choices, and I take full responsibility for the shame and pain I brought upon my family, friends, and collaborators."
