Kriti
Sanon
praised
women
for
sharing
their
stories
of
sexual
harassment
in
the
wake
of
the
#MeToo
movement
and
said
the
fear
which
is
being
instilled
in
the
offenders,
courtesy
the
campaign,
is
a
welcome
change.
The
actor
said
she
hopes
the
movement
is
here
to
stay
but
we
need
to
make
sure
this
does
not
get
diluted.
"It
takes
a
lot
of
courage
for
a
girl
to
come
out
in
the
open
and
talk
about
her
#MeToo
story
and
hats
off
to
the
ones
who
have
spoken
up.
Thanks
to
you
girls
and
the
movement
that
now
people
will
fear
being
caught
if
they
wrong
anyone.
This
fear
was
much
need
and
is
hopefully
here
to
stay," she
posted
on
Twitter.
Kriti
On
The
Misuse
Of
#MeToo
Kriti,
however,
questioned
the
anonymity
of
some
of
the
alleged
victims,
saying
just
one
fake
account
can
malign
someone's
name
and
career.
"What
happens
when
a
#MeToo
story
of
an
'anonymous'
girl
comes
out
against
someone?
Do
we
simply
believe
it
without
knowing
who
the
girl
is
or
if
she
even
exists?
How
does
one
inspect
such
an
incident
in
order
to
come
to
any
conclusion?
Is
it
fair
to
consider
the
accuse
'guilty'
when
the
#MeToo
story
does
not
come
with
the
victim's
name?"
'There
Has
To
Be
Legal
Repercussion'
"Should
the
media
carry
such
stories?
It
takes
just
one
story
to
spoil
someone's
name
and
career.
It
is
important
that
we
handle
the
movement
responsibly
and
find
a
lawful
way.
Ultimately
there
has
to
be
a
legal
repercussion
of
#MeToo
for
it
to
be
enduringly
effective."
Follow
The
Legal
Route
While
Sharing
Their
Stories.
"I
urge
all
the
women/men
who
want
to
share
their
#MeToo
stories
to
either
come
out
in
the
open
with
their
names
and
faces
or
file
an
FIR
or
a
legal
case
(while
asking
for
your
identity
to
not
be
given
to
media
or
public)
so
that
the
case
can
be
at
least
inspected
and
the
#MeToo
movement
does
not
get
misused
or
diluted," she
said.
