Hollywood, several Bollywood actors
spoke up against casting couch, sexual
harassment. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
who was recently in Sydney for work
commitments opened up on the #MeToo
movement.
. . Talking about the movement, she told a
leading entertainment portal, "A
movement such as the #MeToo
movement ... has brought out a lot of
conversation and sharing. The good
thing is that people are talking. I don't
think this (subject) needs to restrict itself
to one part of the world. That is
definitely positive, which has come
about with this entire subject.
. . She added more, saying, "If a woman
feels compromised and she feels the
need to share an experience that has
completely challenged her sense of
being, it is amazing that she comes out,
speaks forth about it, and takes the
people to task. This idea does not limit
itself to show business or the film
industry. It is people discussing it from
all walks of life.
. . The #MeToo movement began soon
after sexual assault accusations directed
against Hollywood producer Harvey
Weinstein were reported by American
media late last year.
. . On the work front, Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan will be next seen in 'Fanne
Khan' along with Anil Kapoor and
Rajkummar Rao. The film will hit the
screens on July 13, 2018.
