Lately, Pakistani singer Meesha Shami disclosed that she was
sexually harassed by actor-singer Ali Zafar. By using the #MeToo hashtag, the
singer told that she won't stay silent anymore.
After that, a lot of people are expecting Bollywood celebrities
to open up on sexual harassment in the industry.
About the same, when a media source questioned director
Anurag Kashyap about the same, he revealed, "Anywhere, a campaign like
this (#MeToo) will be successful only when the victim speaks up. Then the
people can stand up in support of the victim. If the victim won't speak up,
then no one can speak because the others will be branded as disgruntled people
trying to do rumour-mongering. It will be a total failure."
About media's obsession with "sexual harassment exists
in every field including Bollywood", the director told, "It exists
everywhere. Why are people obsessed with Bollywood?"
"I think everyone needs to take that clue and find that
courage to do something about it," further added Anurag.
