As the Me Too movement gains momentum in the country, several women have mustered the courage to come out and call out their sexual predators or those they know through second-hand accounts. Several eminent Bollywood personalities have been named in the wake of the 'Me Too' movement in India. Celebrities like Nana Patekar, Alok Nath, Rajat Kapoor, Varun Grover, Karim Morani, Kailash Kher, Vikas Bahl, and Sajid Khan have been accused publically so far.
The 'Me Too' movement that originated in the west around a year ago has taken India by a storm, and rightly so. The movement gained momentum after Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment while the duo was filming a song for the film 'Horn Ok Pleassss' in 2008. The actress also lashed out at choreographer Ganesh Acharya for allegedly pressuring her into doing an intimate sequence with Patekar for the song.
Dutta also accused the producer of the film, Sami Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang of harassing her on the sets of the film. On Wednesday, October 10, Dutta filed a complaint with the police at the Oshiwara police station against the four.
