'It's not like the world changed post #MeToo' : Kiara Advani

Actor Kiara vani says people today are finally having "uncomfortable conversations" about abuse and consent, but it's a stretch to assume that world post #MeToo movement has changed.  #MeToo movement, which began in Hollywood, gained momentum in India in 2018, with women calling out comedians, journalists, authors, actors and filmmakers.

Kiara features in latest Netflix Original film, "Guilty", which explores different versions of truth that emerge when a small-town girl accuses college heartthrob of rape. In post #MeToo world, gaze has changed, but Kiara said change isn't significant.

"It's t like #MeToo happened and world changed. We don't live in a post #MeToo world. We live in #MeToo world. We are t re yet," Kiara told PTI.

actor, however, feels people who didn't question anything "uncomfortable" until w, have started to talk.

"w it's shaking. We have always suppressed it. But w we are finally having se uncomfortable conversations. It's high time we did. Everything has to start with a conversation."

"Guilty" is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic, digital content arm of filmmaker's Dharma Production and helmed by Ruchi Narain. "Kabir Singh" actor says when she was narrated script, its story enveloped her, making her constantly think of film.

" topic is t just relevant but is something that bors each one of us in a very different way. To be a part of a story that somewhere gave me a character to even voice out a lot of my own thoughts about it, opinions, complications, confusions and all that about a subject as sensitive as this... Without being preachy, still telling so much. That for me was really liberating and story itself, way Ruchi has written it, entire narrative, it really holds. It's an immersive experience."

"Guilty" happened to her when Kiara h signed big films, including Dharma's "Good Newwz" and "Shershah", but she never felt that doing a movie for web would be any less than a atrical high.

"I believe content comes in every form. If re is a film that I want to watch and I can see myself ding to it in some way, I want to be a part of it. With 'Guilty', it was Dharma doing ir first feature film collaboration with Netflix, I h to be a part of it... Today, you have to be relevant. This is next big step. Lines are blurred today," she ds.

"Guilty" also stars Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Gurfateh Singh Pirza and Taher Shabbir among ors.
