#MeToo
Will Tanushree's allegations lead to Bollywood's #MeToo movement?
In an interview, Tanushree said we don't deserve #MeToo because the society's first reaction when a woman speaks up, is to judge her.
Even in this case, Tanushree got limited support from Bollywood, days after she broke the silence, and the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan chose silence, nevertheless.
Tanushree's allegations are serious and the time for Bollywood's #MeToo is now.
