The findings of the Justice Hema Committee Report jolted the nation. After the report was made public, FIRs were registered against noted Malayalam film industry personalities. Bollywood actresses have also raised their voices seeking a similar report that holds a mirror to the horrors of showbiz.
Amid this, Kangana Ranaut expressed concern regarding women’s safety in the film fraternity. At a media event in New Delhi, the actress made strong allegations against Bollywood actors.
Heroes assault women, claims Kangana Ranaut
At the News18 India Chaupal, Kangana accused ‘heroes’ of assaulting women by calling them home for dinners. She said, “Do you know how do these heroes assault women? They call them for dinners, message them, ask them to come home. Look at the Kolkata rape and murder case. Look at rape threats to me. We know that we do not respect women. The film industry is no different. College boys comment on females. Film heroes are no different. They are also like this. We know how a woman is treated at a workplace.”
Kangana Ranaut Urges CBFC To Release Emergency At Earliest: Everyone Is Bearing Huge Loss
The Queen actress added, “Even Saroj Khan was once asked about rape and sexual assault in the film industry when she said, ‘Rape toh karte hai par roti bhi dete hai’. This is the situation of our daughters in this film industry.”
