Walks
On
A
Rope!

sack

and
replace
him
with
someone
else.
#MeToo
Movement
The
#MeToo
movement
is
now
hitting
the
Bollywood
A-listers
and
it
looks
like
there
would
be
many
more
skeletons
that
would
tumble
out
of
the
closet
in
the
coming
days,
as
those
who
have
suffered
would
not
want
to
keep
silent
anymore
and
not
let
the
others
go
through
the
same.
