In an interview to a news channel, she said, "Akshay Kumar has made few films with Nana Patekar in last eight years and Rajinikanth also recently worked with him (in Kaala)... If such big stars will keep working with these culprits then there’s no hope for any movement to happen.” Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan: When Actors Blatantly Refused to Talk on #MeToo Movement in Bollywood
Meanwhile, actor like Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Parineeti Chopra, Anurag Kashyap, Sonam Kapoor and more have lent their support to the Aashiq Banaya Apne actress. On the other hand, Salman Khan recently refused to comment on the matter stating that 'he is unaware' about the happenings. Well, we wonder what Twinkle has to say to these trolls now!
