Talking of mindsets, the #Me-Too campaign in the US had many skeletons tumbling out, exposed many big names. Unfortunately, in India, we're still wary of opening up on the subject...
The reason the movement worked in the US is because of the collective voice. There are many women coming out and they are getting a lot of support even from journalists who have been brave to write their stories. I don't know if India is ready for a #MeToo kind of a shake-up yet. It's not easy, even some of these women had wanted to protect their identities and spoke up only when they knew they'd be represented accurately in the media. Here there's still the fear of being labelled, women don't feel safe speaking up because of the general lack of support. Hopefully that will change soon. But I must point out here that misogyny exists even in the most developed cultures, though it's better hidden while here it's blatant.
Pinto was spotted with photographer beau Cory Tran at one of the US Open matches. Their Instagram feeds are proof that they bond over photography. "It is not only because of photography, we share many other interests," says Pinto. The two were introduced by her The Path co-star Aaron Paul. Asked if he is the chosen one, she says, "Keep guessing."
