The #Me Too effect is going to change a lot of things in the coming times. With swift actions being taken against the offenders, more and more women are coming forward to seek justice. And the movement has caught up not just with Bollywood actors, but also with other people working in this industry.

Bollywood celebrity manager and co-founder of talent management agency Kwan, Anirban Blah was asked to step down from his position after four women accused him of sexual harassment in a report that was published in Mid-Day. Kwan Entertainment manages actress like Deepika Padukone among several others.

Talking about Anirban’s sexual misconduct, an actress had told Mid-Day that he asked her if she was interested in an unnatural sex set-up. “In the six months that followed, I stopped getting brand offers. Some of my existing brand endorsement deals were transferred to other actresses whom he was close to. Without much hullabaloo, I ended my association with the agency,” she said. Another actress opened up on how Anirban commented on her body parts and tried to break her confidence.

Earlier today, Yash Raj Films too fired its talent and creative head Ashish Patil, after several women accused him of sexual harassment.

The way things are going now, it looks like #MeToo movement is going to bring about a much-needed change in the entertainment industry.
