Yes, it is different...and still, it's not. The emotional investment and the kind of relation they had was different, but not the actress-producer/star power-equation.

OK, fair enough. Other producers saw her being Aamir’s girlfriend and thought they had a shot or she was easy or whatever other misogynistic vernacular popped into their heads. But that’s something that can happen, or I’m sure has happened, because of other Bollywood relationships too. If actress X can date actor Y while filming then she can sleep with producer Z as well while filming another movie 🤷🏽‍♀️.

At the end all of it is a safety problem within the industries. And since we believe that casting couch is a rampant problem, Fatima obviously isn’t the only victim here. So correlating her relationship with Aamir to her getting asked to sleep with producers still doesn’t make sense to me.
