The #Metoo movement is raging on social media, the film industry is experiencing a shift. Amid this shift and paradigm, there are many people who are not speaking up on the issue and this is also an issue.
Recently Kangana Ranaut spoke up about the silence observed by Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi on the #MeToo movement.
Some of the many names which came under the radar were Subhash Ghai, Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath, Nana Patekar, Sajid Khan are having to face a lot of flak on social media.
This is what Kangana told the media. She got anguished and took a dig at the so-called father of Bollywood – Karan Johar. She said: “I have been speaking about it every day. But, now, more significantly, more people need to come out and talk about it. It’s just not one person to talk about it. It’s important for people like… Where are people like Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi, they should also come out and talk. Karan Johar always has views about gym looks, airport looks, he tweets ten times about it, what about this? This is their identity, this is their bread and butter, Film Industry when it’s going through such an important shift, where are they? It’s important that other people also now join this movement.”

What do you think about the #Metoo movement? Will it take our country anywhere? Would it only be limited to verbal and written confessions or an action will be taken too?
