Jackie Shroff On Nana Patekar: It's Unfortunate My Co-stars Are Washing Their Dirty Linen In Public
Some of Bollywood's popular names, such as Nana Patekar and Sajid Khan, are facing fire in the #MeToo movement and Jackie Shroff says it is unfortunate that his colleagues have been named.
Some
of
Bollywood's
popular
names,
such
as
Nana
Patekar
and
Sajid
Khan,
are
facing
fire
in
the
#MeToo
movement
and
Jackie
Shroff
says
it
is
unfortunate
that
his
colleagues
have
been
named.
The
actor
says
while
no
woman
should
be
harassed,
people
should
also
not
enjoy
watching
others
fall.
"It's
so
unfortunate
that
all
my
colleagues
are
fighting.
They
are
my
co-actors...
Washing
their
dirty
linen
in
public
and
people
are
watching
and
enjoying
it,
trying
to
be
(holy).
Look
into
your
own
eyes.
Look
what
you
have
been
through.
"Why
are
people
having
this
immense
interest
in
watching
what
others
are
doing?
It's
an
unfortunate
thing
happening
at
the
moment," Shroff
told
PTI.
The
actor
said
it
is
important
to
ensure
a
safe
working
space
for
women
and
they
should
take
immediate
and
strict
action
against
the
perpetrators
when
something
like
this
happens.
"If
they
(perpetrators)
are
given
a
tight
slap,
a
good
beating
right
there
and
then.
No
one
should
tolerate
indecent
behaviour,
it's
an
absolute
no.
Women
shouldn't
go
through
this.
"Maybe
there
are
girls
who
are
shy,
who
wouldn't
be
comfortable
taking
this
step.
I
know
because
I
have
a
daughter
and
a
wife
but
it's
time
one
has
to
be
a
little
strong."
Shroff
was
speaking
at
the
launch
of
Royal
Stag
Barrel
Select
Large
Short
Films'
"The
Playboy
Mr
Sawhney",
directed
by
Tariq
Naved
Siddiqui.
At
the
event,
when
he
was
asked
to
comment
on
Patekar
and
Khan,
Shroff
said,
"I
don't
want
to
fan
it.
If
they
take
(these
men)
in
their
films
or
don't,
it's
their
call.
"If
they
don't
remove
them,
there
might
be
an
agitation.
People
will
say
'why
not
remove
them'.
So
let
it
rest.
