“We’re Not Ready For It” – Sushmita Sen On Bollywood’s #MeToo Movement
Bollywood is currently undergoing a major transformation as the women in Bollywood have choosen to give up on the social stigmatic behaviour of tolerating anything and everything happening with them and have come out to speak about the injustice that happened with them in the form of Sexual Harassment during their life and career in Bollywood! Rightly termed the #MeToo movement, there is a strong wave of rage that the movement has brought in the country! This begun with Tanushree Dutta’s revelation about Nana Patekar’s inappropriate behaviour with her and we now have all our ladies like Twinkle Khanna, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Pooja Bhatt, Dia Mirza and a lot many more supporting the movement! Here’s the Miss Universe herself, Sushmita Sen, speaking her heart out on the Bollywood’s #MeToo and her opinion truly is different from the others!

While talking about Bollywood’s #MeToo Movement to a leading media house, Sushmita Sen said, “I was reading an interview of Tanushree Dutta this morning and she is right that it isn’t about the coming of a #MeToo campaign. By all means, it will come and it will go. It is far deeper. It’s a mindset. To change that, you’re looking at an entirely new generation being raised and being educated to believe in their rights and responsibilities. So, I don’t think a campaign will do it. We’re not ready for that yet.”

“But as far as I am concerned, I think it’s time we stop treating everything as a problem of a sector, it is a basic human right. To live a dignified life and that concerns everyone. It isn’t just about film industry because you are talking about an actor; it isn’t about the person from the media industry because it’s only related to media. Women exist in all sectors today and thank god for that. Their safety and their integrity is very much everyone’s responsibility.”, she added.
