Sonam:We have trivialised the #MeToo movement. It has become watered d

After rocking Hollywood, #MeToo movement finally came to India and sort of rocked Bollywood as well. But unlike Hollywood, where the sexual harassment allegations and accusations were treated with seriousness and the authorities were involved, in India, barring one or two cases, almost every case was all about the social media trial. And after creating a lot of noise on social media and in the media, #MeToo movement is slowly fading away.

After a glorious 2018, Sonam Kapoorreturned to the big screen with Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. When I asked her about her take on the movement and the nature in which it was treated in India, Sonam agreed and stated that we indeed are trivialising it. She said that as of now it has been watered down, so we need to be a little more careful about it.

She exclusively told ZoomTV.com,

Ya, we are definitely trivialising it (Me Too movement). If you have to, you have to do it with a lot of thought. And you have to do it...because it's become watered down now. It's all gone and unfortunately, it is the way it is. We need to be a little more careful about the accusation and articles. The media doesn't realise how powerful it can be.

As far as her film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is concerned, the Shelly Chopra Dhar directorial released yesterday and opened to a decent Rs 3.3 crore.

the very fact that she is speaking up about me too movement while promoting her film, supporting another producer who has cast her as an actress in her next film, makes me wonder why the media instead of telling us that she is biased and that her opinions are completely for her own selfish interest ,is presenting it as the gospel truth...

the media even if it is entertainment news has a much more civic duty of constantly fact checking and informing its readers like in this instance it should have printed with Sonam has said and then directly printed below it that please note the comments made by the above actress us only for her own selfish interest and does not represent the true state of society

Facts please. If and only IF Sonam was indeed approached to play in Munna Bhai 3, then it was by the producer and not the director.

The article didn't state once that the potential sequel would be directed by Hirani.
