Radhika Apte REVEALS her #MeToo moment, says a co-star offered midnigh

Radhika Apte, one of the most talented
actresses that the Hindi film industry has,
shed light on her own #MeToo movement.
The movement that took Hollywood by
storm had many celebrities coming out and
sharing their sexual harassment stories,
which eventually paved way for better anti-
sexual harassment policies in work places to
curb such incidents.
While Bollywood has yet not participated or
come up with its own #MeToo movement,
Radhika says that to bring such a movement
to the Indian entertainment industry,
artistes need to have a good support
system.
The 33-year-old actress said not only
women but men also need to "come out of
their fears" and share their stories of
harassment and sexual abuse.
In fact the Ghoul fame Radhika, shared her
own #MeToo moment at the event.
Radhika said, "I can share one incident that
happened recently, I had actually hurt my
back. We did the shoot and I was heading
back to my room with another guy who was
in the same lift. He was part of the film but
we had not spoken much. He said that, 'Let
me know if you need me in the middle of
the night for help, I can come and give your
back a rub'."
"But the good part was that the atmosphere
on the sets was so easy and comfortable, I
told the filmmakers and they had a meeting
with him in person. Then I came to know
that the culture that he comes from is such
that he didn't realise that he made me
uncomfortable with that statement.
However, later he never made me feel
uncomfortable and apologised," the Sacred
Games actress revealed.
Radhika Apte also went on to say, "The main
cause is power game. Be it religious, sexual
or economical- it happens everywhere.
Nobody wants to lose their power," she
added during a session at the India Today
Mind Rocks 2018.
The #MeToo movement began with
allegations of sexual harassment and rape
against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein
and triggered a global movement. It
eventually led to structural changes in
Hollywood and the launch of the Time's Up
campaign.
