Kalki Koechlin opens up about sexual abuse in the Hindi film industry!
While speaking about sexual harassment in the Hindi film industry, actress Kalki Koechlin told that there are women in the film industry who face sexual abuse, but, as they are not popular or successful, people don’t pay attention to them.
After Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was exposed by numerous actresses for sexual abuse, a lot of Bollywood celebs are speaking about the same happening in the Hindi film industry.
Speaking to a tabloid, Kalki revealed, “I don’t think we provide an environment to our women to speak up about sexual abuse,” and added further, “We only listen to people once they are successful or famous. There are a lot of women who are at the struggling stages of their career who talk about these things but no one will listen to their story.”
Kalki also stated that people only listen to those who are famous. She further told, “We are harping on the Harvey Weinstein issue which happened in LA while we have our own issues the incidents at High Spirits in Pune, or the TVF incident. You hear about these things for half a day and then it is gone. We need to take responsibility for our own stories. I feel it’s about time we start listening to them.”
Harvey Weinstein has been in the news when more than 50 women including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lupita Nyong’o and Kate Beckinsale disclosed how he sexually abused them.
On the film front, her movie Jia Aur Jia starring Richa Chadha released on Friday.
