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.
I
Will
Not
Support
Injustice
Against
Women,
Says
Bhumi
Pednekar
Bhumi
Pednekar
opened
up
by
saying
to
HT,
"As
a
woman,
my
stance
is
that
I'm
a
fighter,
and
in
no
way
will
I
support
any
kind
of
injustice
against
women
in
our
society.
It
can
be
with
me
or
with
anybody
else
-
I
encourage
that
we
have
a
voice."
The
Fear
Of
Embarrassment
Is
Dangerous
"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."
Raise
Your
Voice
&
Be
Heard!
"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.
On
The
Work
Front
Bhumi
Pednekar
is
currently
gearing
up
to
be
a
part
of
Zoya
Akhtar's
upcoming
movie Bombay
Talkies
2
and
the
film
might
go
on
floors
by
the
end
of
2018.
