Tanushree Dutta: Top Actresses Didn't Support #MeToo; They Gave Themselves Over To Their Ambitions!
Tanushree Dutta stated her disappointment that top actresses in Bollywood did not support the #MeToo movement and they gave themselves over to their ambitions.
Tanushree
Dutta
kicked
up
a
storm
all
over
the
country
and
gave
voice
to
the
#MeToo
moment
by
accusing
Nana
Patekar
of
sexual
harassment
on
the
sets
of
Horn
OK
Please
in
2008
and
said
that
when
she
turned
down
his
unruly
advances,
Nana
called
up
goons
from
a
political
party
and
vandalised
her
car
and
threatened
her
with
dire
consequences.
Several
actresses
such
as
Chitrangada
Singh,
Swara
Bhaskar,
Richa
Chadha,
Radhika
Apte,
Shilpa
Shetty
and
others
spoke
out
against
sexual
harassment
and
supported
the
#MeToo
movement,
but
the
A-list
actresses
chose
to
remain
silent
about
the
controversy.
Tanushree
Dutta
is
miffed
and
here's
what
she
had
to
say...
Top
Actresses
Didn't
Support
The
#MeToo
Movement
"It's
disappointing
that
not
many
actresses
have
spoken
up
on
the
matter
(#MeToo).
They
probably
gave
themselves
over
to
their
ambitions," said
Tanushree
Dutta
to
a
leading
tabloid.
There
Will
Be
No
More
'Compromise'
In
The
Industry
"People
have
been
conditioned
to
think
that
it's
okay
for
men
to
behave
inappropriately
and
actresses
have
to
compromise
without
complaining.
Fortunately,
the
newer
generation
is
opinionated
and
will
phase
out
the
patriarchal
thinking."
Stars
Have
Been
Kicked
Out
Of
Movies,
The
Fear
Remains!
"People
have
been
dropped
from
projects,
studios
have
become
careful
to
not
hire
names
that
are
accused.
[Having
said
that,]
Some
stories
of
Swara
and
Kangana's
struggles
have
been
chronicled,
but
several
others
disappeared."
#MeToo
Spark
Is
Dying,
But
It
Has
Ignited
The
Consciousness
Of
People
"This
is
a
spark
that
has
ignited
the
consciousness
of
people.
True,
the
initial
burst
is
over,
but
now
it
will
remain
in
people's
minds
and
help
cleanse
the
industry.
The
movement
started
with
Bollywood
and
then,
women,
who
never
thought
they
would
speak
up,
came
forward."
