5 times Bollywood should have started #Metoo movement, but Better Late than Never

With Tanushree Dutta’s accusation against Nana Patekar came to light, Bollywood didn’t gave a second thought before supporting her.

It was tremendous to see all the celebrities coming out in support of her and applauding her for the brave move. With this, we went a little back and noticed that there’re women of fame industry that has some time or another reported a sexual abuse. Where was Bollywood then?

Casting Couch being one of the most open secret of our film industry, there are many secrets that lie hidden indoors. With many actresses coming out of the shade and openly talking about their experiences, Bollywood is offering full support.

Let’s have a look at these brave hearts that survived and spoke about what is termed as unspeakable.

1. Tanushree Dutta

The recent case that led outbreak in the industry is Tanushree Dutta accusing Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on sets of Horn Ok Please. It is overwhelming to witness the support that she has gained from all Bollywood fraternity but is that enough?

2. Radhika Apte

One of the most straight forward actresses that I’ve ever come across is Radhika Apte. Not that she hasn’t faced harassment in her life, she just doesn’t believe in letting it pass. She has stood up then and she stands now. Hats off!

3. Kangana Ranaut

Another one of the brave hearts, she has never backed off from speaking her heart out. No matter how much criticism she faced. Kangana has stood up and accused Vikas Bahl, Director of movie Queen.

4. Swara Bhaskar

Famous for numerous films and one of the finest actors we have, Swara Bhaskar has too spoken about the sexual harassment in film industry. She not only has been survivor of one, she also condemns and supports every female that has survived such horrendous act.

5. Kalki Koechlin

Kalki Koechlin, who revealed being sexually abused as a child, also came up with same experience with a producer. She also lost films and projects but never gave in to their desires or unwanted advances.  

Many speak in favour and many against, no matter what, these survivors need not keep quiet now. There is just a single thing we’d like to conclude, it happened now or years ago, you are never too late to speak up. We’d support you then and we’ll support you now. Speak up! It’s not your fault.
