Nimrat
Kaur
Asked
why
no
names
are
taken
against
sexual
offenders
in
Bollywood,
Nimrat
told
IANS
in
recorded
response
from
Mumbai,
"In
order
for
women
to
come
out
about
harassment
in
work
environments
in
India,
the
legal
system
has
to
be
watertight
and
it
has
to
be
able
to
give
the
support
and
that
absolute
sense
of
fearlessness
to
any
victim
anywhere,
who
has
gone
through
any
kind
of
abuse
or
harassment."
Look
Deeper
She
said
sexual
harassment
needs
to
be
looked
into
at
a
"deeper
level
before
women
are
questioned
as
to
why
they
don't
come
out
with
offences
that
have
been
made
against
them".
"We
as
a
society
need
to
get
stronger
and
more
solid
and
instil
that
fearlessness
into
women," she
added.
Don't
Let
It
Go
Nimrat,
who
has
featured
in
The
Lunchbox
and
Airlift
and
will
soon
be
seen
in
ALT
Balaji's
web
series
The
Test
Case,
also
wonders
why
actresses
and
the
film
industry
are
the
focus.
"One
sees
this
at
a
basic
level
anywhere
that
any
woman
who
goes
through
any
kind
of
trauma
or
any
kind
of
abuse
of
a
sexual
nature,
her
first
instinct
is
to
let
it
go,
slide
it,
forget
it
or
who
wants
to
get
into
it."
So
True
She
said,
adding
that
"it
is
the
embarrassment
that
the
victim
shies
away
from
speaking
against
it".
Nimrat
Kaur
Quoted
"Just
the
circus
around
the
noise
something
like
this
can
create.
The
embarrassment
this
can
bring
to
a
family
and
how
your
name
might
be
maligned.
There
is
so
much
taboo
around
sexual
offence
that
the
person
who
has
been
offended
more
than
half
the
times
they
just
shy
away
from
coming
out.
Because
they
don't
have
faith
in
the
system
or
legal
support
they
get."
Grass-root
Levels
Nimrat,
who
has
herself
worked
in
American
showbiz
via
series
like
Wayward
Pines
and
Homeland,
stressed
that
for
women
to
come
out
strongly
about
facing
abuse,
the
mentality
has
to
change
at
the
"grass-root
level".
Being
Called
Out
"Women
have
to
know
that
they
are
not
at
disadvantage
and
there
is
no
shame
in
coming
out
and
calling
someone
out
for
an
offence,
and
that
they
need
to
be
called
out.
Strong
Woman
"It
is
a
confidence
that
has
to
be
brought
out
within
women
from
the
system,
government
and
legal
point
of
view,"
added
the
35-year-old,
who
plays
the
role
of
a
strong
woman
being
trained
as
a
combat
officer
for
the
Indian
Army
in
The
Test
Case.
