With the #MeToo movement catching up steam, lot of incidences about sexual harassment in Bollywood are coming out of the closet. Actresses - both established and newbies and models are speaking up against many big names in the industry, who some point in time harassed them. After Nana Patekar, names like Sajid Khan, Vikas Bahl, Luv Ranjan, Anirban Blah, Mukesh Chhabra among others have cropped up. Many among these have also been asked to opt out of their upcoming projects, until they are proven innocent.
Today, another leading production house, suspended their director, who is working on an upcoming project with them. While this move has been applauded, netizens are also wondering as to why has the lead hero been retained in the movie, despite some massive allegations being levelled up against him by the leading lady of the movie, a few months back. While the actress has chosen to stay mum through out the episode, the actor is clarifying his stand on social media by sharing screenshots of his chat.
However, a source close to the actress informed us the real reason behind her keeping mum about this grave issue. "When the internal enquiry happened, she was asked about those allegations on the actor to which she said What allegations? I never said anything. That was all cooked up'. Later, she discussed with her team and they arrived on the conclusion that it's better to stay mum. Because if she speaks up and the actor is asked to opt out of the project, then the movie will go for a toss. And under no circumstances does she want the project to get shelves, since it is her debut film. Hence she has been advised to keep quiet, informs the insider.
Given that the allegations weren't said on record by the lady in question, it's easier for her to change her stand now. But we wonder will it undo the damage that has happened for the lead hero?!
Also, we are wondering why hasn't she spoken up yet about the fresh reportage that is happening against this popular actor since the past few days, owing to which he had to share his personal conversation' screenshots with the lady. Something fishy eh?!
