AR Rahman Breaks His Silence On #MeToo Movement: 'Some Of The Names Have Shocked Me'
Speaking about #MeToo, AR Rahman shared that he's shocked with some of the names that have surfaced. He further hoped the industry will become a cleaner place now.
In the wake of the MeToo movement, many prominent names have been exposed when it comes to sexual harassment. Multiple women have come forward and named and shamed celebrities like Sajid Khan, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl, Kailash Kher, Anu Malik, Mukesh Chhabra and others for their inappropriate behaviour. It all began when Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of the 2008-film Horn OK Pleassss.
As many men and women muster up the courage to share their MeToo stories, Oscar-winning music director, singer-songwriter and composer AR Rahman, finally took to his Twitter page last night which reads as follows-
'Been observing the #metoo movement... Some of the names have shocked me... both the victims and their perpetrators... I would love to see our industry become cleaner and respectful of women. More power to all the victims coming forward!!!
In all my endeavours, my team and I are committed to creating an environment where everyone finds a safe creative space to bring their best, evolve and succeed.
Social media offers great freedom for victims to speak up, however, we should be careful in creating a new internet justice system, in case it's misused.'
