they're dating though, so it is not like she is exploiting him.

The age difference and power equation makes it questionable.

I doubt.

In the modelling field, a big Yes. Anyway, it is consensual. So is casting couch.

I dont believe it is love. Maybe friends with benefits. He gets fame while she gets company.

Forget the ignorance of Sushmita over the directorial issue and making a stupid statement.

But, why are people not raising eyebrows over her seemingly predatory practice?

Clearly, 43 years old famous woman is using her clout n power over that struggling 28 years old freelance male model. Dont tell its "love". I dont buy it. Will it come under casting couch?

Somebody needs to do a #MeToo in Modelling field. Most male models are exploited by both men and women there.

They are dating.. Heck he is participating in her daughter's fathers race so this is definitely not casting couch.. This is a relationship between two consenting adults.. is the age difference creepy? Perhaps.. But that does not make Sush a predator or a sexual harasser, unless of course Rohan insinuates he is being coerced into something, which from his behavior seems highly unlikely

And Sush hardly has any power

Ek baat batao koi, aise aur kitne logon ke stand ki jarurat padegi to prove kangana is attention seeker and is only hungry for publicity?

None of Sush's relationships fall under MeToo. Please don't dilute the movement just because she has supported an uncouth woman like Kangana. If you go by your logic, then no one powerful ever can have any stable/fling relationship with someone new in the field, because in all situations it would look like exploitation.

Sush is the kind of ideal role model and what we call as Feminist. And I doubt she has this much faltu time to enquire about all the controversies around Manikarnika. She's not KJo i.e. gossip monger. It's just disappointing that she spoke without knowing much about it.

Had he been even a small time but established model, it would not have raised eyebrows. He is a struggling freelance male model which is why I was wondering. I understand he is doing whatever he is out of choice. But, I feel something does not add up.

Something might very well be amiss.. But even then, casting couch and #Metoo was kind of uncalled for imo..
