Tanushree Dutta may have stated that the #MeToo movement in India, or Bollywood to be more precise, would never find the light of the day because celebrities never openly talk about it or support the ones who have faced it. However, with a plethora of celebrities voicing their opinions in favour of the actress, surely we would finally be able to see a movement as big as addressing sexual harassment at the workplace (tinsel town). The most recent celebrity to have joined the bandwagon of industry folks in favour of Tanushree Dutta is veteran actress Simi Garewal.

The actress took to Twitter to share her thoughts regarding the whole controversy but dropped the mic with a powerful conclusion to her tweet. She wrote, “#TanushreeDutta I’ve heard horror stories thru the years of this predatory jungle. Some girls became stars. Others disappeared quietly. Yes, they took away your career. They darkened 10 years of your life. But they can’t take away your voice & your courage!!” Not only has her courage opened cans of the worst kind of male jingoism that prevails in the Bollywood industry, but has stuck to her side of the story even after 10 years, without flinching. Tanushree Dutta Accuses Nana Patekar of Sexual Harassment: 'Horn Ok Please' AD Shyni Shetty Backs Actress

Ever since the controversy broke out last week with Nana Patekar being the one in the accused chair, many Bollywood actors have addressed the issue. While Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan received flak for their silence, Swara Bhaskar, Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Twinkle Khanna and many more were lauded for standing up and supporting an industry colleague.

Even Kangana Ranaut spoke up and said, “I am not here to pass judgement. That’s neither my place nor my intention. I appreciate her courage to speak about alleged harassment that has been caused to her. It’s her and the accused’s fundamental right to speak about their experience of the same situation. Such dialogue is very healthy and it will bring about a lot of awareness.” Kangana Ranaut on Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar Controversy: I Appreciate Her Courage to Speak About Alleged Harassment

We wonder how things will go from here. So far while the celebrities have spoken up about the grave subject of sexual harassment, no official move has been taken up by either Nana Patekar or Tanushree Dutta over the issue. All we can do now is wait and watch to see how things go from here.
