Pulkit Samrat and Ankita Lokhande support #MeToo Movement

With Tanushree Dutta row, looks like the #MeToo movement has started in India. The movement was started by Tanushree when she opened up on the sexual assault by Nana Patekar in 2008. Many B-town celebs like Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Swara Bhasker, Malaika Arora among others came in support of the actress. While actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan restrained themselves to comment on the same. Now television actress Ankita Lokhande has voiced her opinion on the sexual harassment that happens on a regular basis.

Ankita who is all set to mark her Bollywood debut with ‘Manikarnika’ has joined the bandwagon of actresses who have come out to support the #MeToo movement. Through a series of tweets, the actress has spoken about the harassment meted out to women by men.

While Nana had sent a legal notice demanding an apology from Tanushree, on the other hand, Tanushree yesterday lodged a complaint against Nana, Ganesh Acharya, producer Sami Siddiqui, and director Rakesh Sarang. Nana is in Mumbai and he will be holding a press conference along with Ganesh Acharya on Monday (October 8). The actor was hounded by media and when he was questioned on this matter, he dodged the question calling it all lies. Let’s wait and watch till Monday.
