Shah Rukh Khan On ‘Me Too’ Movement: When Someone Misbehaves, It Won’t Go Unnoticed Now
Shah Rukh Khan believes the ‘Me Too' movement may have started in the West but it has given voice to the women across the globe, including India, to share the stories of their abuse and harassment.
Shah
Rukh
Khan
has
recently
shared
his
opinions
on
the
'Me
Too'
movement.
He
said
that
the
movement
has
created
an
impact,
therefore,
when
someone
misbehaves
with
a
woman,
it
won't
go
untouched
now.
The
'Me
Too'
movement
originally
started
from
the
West.
It
then
started
becoming
viral
in
many
countries,
giving
women
an
opportunity
to
throw
light
on
their
perpetrators.
Regarding
this,
the
'Dilwale'
actor
said,
"It
started
from
there...
in
the
West
and
it
gave
voice
to
women
to
come
out
and
talk
about
something
that
may
have
happened
some
years
back...
It
gave
them
enough
support
to
come
out
with
their
stories.
The
greatness
of
this
movement
is
that
in
the
future,
we
have
to
accept
that
people
do
mistreat
women
in
most
fields
than
not,
it
has
been
a
conversation
everywhere." He
quoted
this
in
his
interview
with
a
BBC
journalist
and
Host
Tom
Brook.
When
asked
if
'Me
Too'
movement
has
been
touched
by
commercial
films
in
Bollywood,
SRK
feels
that
while
mainstream
cinema
has
not
delved
deep
into
the
subject,
the
parallel
cinema
has
always
held
the
fort.
He
told,
"We
don't
do
it
in
the
depth
and
the
seriousness
with
which
one
should
do
it.
I
would
always
be
a
hero
in
the
film,
be
on
the
side
of
empowering
a
woman
but
maybe
we
sometimes
lack
depth....
But
the
new
wave
of
cinema,
they
are
regular
films
and
they
look
at
notions
and
issues
like
this
and
deal
with
them
with
more
depth
and
seriousness."
Shah
Rukh
Khan
believes
the
'Me
Too'
movement
may
have
started
in
the
West
but
it
has
given
voice
to
the
women
across
the
globe,
including
India,
to
share
the
stories
of
their
abuse
and
harassment.
He
added,
"In
the
cinematic
world
and
media
world
it
has
made
us
a
little
more
aware
now.
I
think
the
main
thing
is
that
people
are
aware
that
this
is
not
going
to
go
untouched
if
somebody
behaves
in
an
improper
manner."
Shah
Rukh
reiterates
Bollywood
should
produce
more
movies
like
Dangal,
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
and
Chak
De!
India.
