Kajol: It’s Good That Rape Cases Are Being Reported In India Now!
Kajol has opened up about reporting of harassment and rape cases in India. She feels that people are being more open and bold these days to come out and report about crimes against women.
Kajol
has
expressed
her
opinion
about
reporting
of
harassment
and
rape
cases
in
India.
She
feels
that
people
are
being
more
open
and
bold
these
days
to
come
out
and
report
about
crimes
against
women,
which
rarely
happened
before.
Kajol
told
IANS,
"I
think
there
is
a
lot
being
reported
right
now.
There
are
a
lot
of
talking
and
chatter
about
it
right
now.
This
chatter
is
good
because
I
am
hoping
it
will
change
the
mindset
of
the
entire
country
and
society.
It's
not
new.
It's
been
happening
from
time
immemorial
but
we
are
talking
about
it
today
and
only
now
we
have
cases
being
reported.
That's
the
good
thing".
She
added,
"It's
good
that
people
are
talking
about
it.
Conversations
and
debates
are
happening
and,
yes,
this
mindset
is
being
brought
to
light.
Our
society
has
been
patriarchal
for
ages,
so
we
have
only
recently
started
talking
about
it
openly.
We
are
shining
a
big,
strong
spotlight
on
it
and,
hopefully,
that
will
burn
away
some
of
the
debate
around
it,
some
of
the
hard
angles
around
it.
Somewhere
down
the
line
(it
will)
burn
our
ideas
also,
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
woman
and
what
it
means
to
be
a
man".
Kajol
said
parents
of
victims
were
hesitant
in
the
earlier
years
to
bring
such
incidents
out
in
the
public.
But
now,
they
have
started
to
take
a
step
against
crimes.
She
stated
that
people
have
realised
now
that
the
shame
does
not
lie
with
the
victim,
but
with
the
perpetrator.
