Harshika Poonacha's 'Publicity Stunt' Remark About #MeToo Is Bound To Ruffle A Few Feathers

Over the past few days, several women have been naming and shaming sexual predators as part of the #MeToo campaign and trying to make the workplace safe. As expected, this has affected those in the film world as well. So far, the likes of Arjun Sarja, Radha Ravi and Tamil lyricist have been accused of misconduct. Now, in a shocking development, the upcoming Sandalwood actress Harshika Poonacha has made a few hard-hitting comments about the #MeToo campaign.

According to a report carried by Gulte, she said that quite a few 'activist actresses' are misusing the movement for quick publicity.

"Most of these so called activist actresses do everything when they badly need what they want in the initial stages of their careers including to get cast in good films, make money, travel and luxurious life by giving all the freedom to these men. And now they accuse for their own selfish needs of publicity. What happened to #MeToo when you slept with him, hang around him?" she added.

Harshika Poonacha also said that many actresses are making a 'mockery' of the entire industry by misusing the #MeToo campaign for selfish reasons.

Interestingly, her comments come days after Sruthi Hariharan accused actor Arjun Sarja of misbehaving with her during the shoot of Nibunan. As such, they are bound to ruffle a few feathers and grab plenty of attention.
