Entertainer Mallika Sherawat says the #MeToo development has made a space for discourse on harassment, making it hard for such issues to be brushed far from anyone's regular field of vision in the business.
The on-screen character, who had recently uncovered she was dropped from undertakings since she would not get cozy with co-stars off screen said the development has engaged ladies while frightening the culprits off.
"#MeToo has been a positive step. It's a strong movement which comes with responsibilities. But men in the industry are absolutely scared. A safe working environment is the right of every man and a woman, so this is a step in the right direction.
"We can discuss things openly. Earlier everything was hushed. Women now feel emboldened to talk about these issues. The perpetrators would now think twice before misbehaving or saying something inappropriate," Mallika told PTI.
The entertainer referred to for movies, for example, Murder, and Pyaar Ke Side Effects said the power is still in the men's hands and a level playing field might be conceivable if more ladies turned into a piece of the business.
"How can the powerful fall when the whole industry is run by men? Women are used as pawns. How many women directors, writers, and cinematographers are there? We can count on our fingertips. The game will change when more women enter the field," she said.
Some portion of the issue, the 42-year-old on-screen character accepts, is the victim disgracing which is uncontrolled in the general public.
