Bhumi Pednekar: I Won't Support Any Injustice Against Women!

Bhumi Pednekar calls women to raise their voice against injustice and any forms of harassment and says that the fear of embarrassment should not hold them back.

Women have been facing a lot of injustice lately and the news is splattered all over the place about rape, harrassment, casting couch and various other things that will leave you shocked and thinking where exactly is our country heading to and are we really living in the modern times of 2018? The #MeToo and #TimesUp campaigns have helped a lot of women around the world to share their stories and protests were also carried out across several major cities against harassment of any form.

Also, several biggies in the Hollywood film industry were brought down due to sexual harassment cases and many actresses came out and spoke about the horrors that they faced, but the same treatment has not been given to Bollywood insiders who do the same. The Toilet: Ek Prem Katha actress Bhumi Pednekar opened up to HT by saying that she stands for women empowerment and will not keep quiet when there is injustice meted out on women.

"Women face so much at various levels - it can be as simple as the common belief that a woman is incapable of doing certain things, or the fact that even if you do something wrong to her, she won't speak up for fear of embarrassment... The time is here that we all should fight against such wrongs."

"Jahan pe aap pe atyachar hota hain, awaaz uthao, uska samna karo (Whenever you're wronged, raise your voice, confront the wrong-doer)... And you will see how your behaviour shocks the offenders. What will also surprise you is how much support you will get from everyone," Bhumi Pednekar summed it up to HT.
