Bollywood
actress
including
Taapsee
Pannu,
Swara
Bhasker
and
Tanushree
Dutta
take
a
sigh
of
relief
as
Hollywood
producer
Harvey
Weinstein
is
found
guilty
of
rape.
The
actresses
also
hope
that
Harvey's
conviction
would
bring
hope
to
victims
that
their
voices
would
be
heard.
Here's
what
they
have
to
say
to
Subhash
K
Jha.
Taapsee,
who
is
currently
gearing
up
for
her
forthcoming
release,
Thappad,
said,
"Finally!
Better
late
than
never.
I
hope
it's
a
beginning
of
many
others
who
are
held
accountable.
As
for
the
MeToo
offenders
in
Bollywood,
I
am
the
wrong
person
to
answer
that.
Only
the
ones
in
authority
can.
But
I
can
only
hope
and
wish
it
happens
asap."
Swara
Bhasker
also
reacted
to
Harvey
Weinstein's
conviction
and
said,
"I'd
say
it's
a
victory
for
the
victims
and
kudos
to
the
judicial
system
that
did
a
thorough
investigation
and
brought
Weinstein
to
justice.
The
stories
of
so
many
victims
who
are
often
questioned
and
shamed
stand
vindicated.
Also
kudos
to
the
journalists
who
meticulously
verified
the
accounts
and
built
a
strong
verified
story
before
publishing
it."
Tanushree
Dutta,
who
green-signalled
the
#MeToo
movement
in
India,
also
shared
her
reaction
and
said,
"Great
move
on
part
of
the
United
States
judiciary
to
bring
a
notorious
perpetrator
to
justice
in
a
landmark
verdict.
It
just
proves
that
when
it
comes
to
law
and
order
and
safety
of
women
India
needs
to
catch
up
with
the
US
on
speedy
justice."
She
further
added,
"While
the
Nirbhaya
case
of
2012
still
awaits
justice
from
her
grave,
Harvey
Weinstein
has
got
his
comeuppance
in
the
most
powerful
way.
I
applaud
the
US
department
of
justice
for
this
victory
against
sexual
misconduct.
A
new
era
is
dawning
where
karma
will
come
and
bite
you
sooner
than
expected.
Heaven
and
hell
are
right
here
on
earth!!
Choose
your
actions
wisely,
folks."
