#MeToo movement hits a low with Reema Kagti being called out

18 Oct 2018

It is a lowdown innuendo to suggest that directorReemaKagtiharassed her leading ladyMouniRoy during the making of theAkshayKumarstarrer Gold.Thankfully Ms Roy quickly hit back and debunked this preposterous allegation while another actor worked in the film now defends Reemas reputation. That we should even be speaking of defendingReemaMaams reputation is a crying shame. She is one of the most professional directors Ive worked with. She is interested in nothing beyond her work. Between shots she doesnt gossip with her actors. Throughout the making of the film she kept to herself. And now whenReema Maam has come forward to lend her name to a petition in support of the#MeToomovements (a letter signed by a group of eminent female directors pledging not to work with proven sexual offenders) someone comes up with this wild allegation? Not done, says the actor. This actor wants to keep his defence of his director anonymous because, If I name myself Id be shamed for crimes I wouldnt imagine committing. Its a terrifying scenario out there. The accused must take the accusation quietly and anyone defending the accused automatically becomes vulnerable to attack.
