#MeToo
Movement
Is
Not
A
Women's
Rights
Movement
"#MeToo
is
not
a
women's
rights
movement.
This
is
a
human
movement.
Harassment
and
abuse
are
gender
agnostic.
It's
happening
to
women,
children
and
men
as
well.
It's
just
that
men
have
not
come
forward
and
spoken
about
it.
Perhaps,
someday
they
would.
But
the
way
society
is
functioning
today,
the
stigma
is
even
more
if
a
man
comes
forward
and
speaks
up.
We
need
to
change
that.
This
movement
is
about
changing
perceptions."
Exhibitionist
Side
Of
Bollywood
"If
you
are
so
god-loving,
why
do
you
need
cameras
to
show
that?
Aren't
worship
and
devotion
to
be
practised
in
silence?
But
somehow,
Bollywood
has
this
exhibitionist
side
to
it.
Before
a
film
is
to
be
released,
they
take
blessings.
So
go
and
take
them
and
come
back.
And
you
don't
even
have
to
go,
just
pray
in
a
corner
in
your
room.
But
no,
you
need
five
cameras
to
show
it."
People
Should
Become
More
Aware
"People
need
to
wake
up
and
be
more
intelligent.
You
can
trash
me.
I
am
used
to
it.
But
people,
for
their
own
sake,
should
become
more
aware.
The
old
constructs
are
falling
down.
The
new
world
is
coming.
You
need
to
adapt
to
that."
The
Stigma
Associated
With
Speaking
Up
About
Sexual
Crimes
"When
someone
has
gone
through
such
a
trauma,
in
the
society
that
we
live
in,
it
is
not
easy
to
come
out
and
reveal
everything.
There
is
no
shame
and
stigma
associated
with
theft
and
robbery;
it
is
in
sexual
crimes.
Naming
and
shaming
is
creating
a
society
where
men
are
afraid."
The
Perception
Game
"I
was
always
sassy,
I
had
the
sex
appeal.
But
that
doesn't
mean
I'm
going
to
take
such
things
lying
down.
It
has
got
nothing
to
do
with
my
character.
The
worst
thing
about
our
country
is
that
we
sometimes
fail
to
differentiate
between
an
actor
and
her
on-screen
character.
From
a
slut,
I
became
the
problem
child,
tantrum
queen,
etc.
When
you
defend
yourself,
you
are
called
muhfat.
And
when
you
keep
quiet,
people
base
their
judgment
on
what
you
wear
in
your
films.
It's
always
been
a
double-edged
sword."
