The #MeToo movement started in Hollywood one year back but with the allegations of Tanushree Dutta against Nana Patekar, Me Too movement had made its way to India too. In the wake of his movement women from various sectors have garnered the courage to share their Me Too stories. This has affected the entire Bollywood industry as many bigwigs are named and shamed by the victims.
Many celebs came forward to speak on the movement one of which is Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan Suman who had tweeted a few days ago about his Me Too story. He spoke about the physical abuse he faced while he was in a relationship with Kangana Ranaut. Shekhar Suman has come forward supporting his son and had tweeted saying that when Adhyayan spoke about his story, people said that he did it for publicity so what about the girls who are speaking up now?
Check his tweets below.
Wen Adhyayan spoke up 2 yrs ago ppl said he did it for publicity bcoz he had a failed career,though he was fairly well known.Wat about all the girls coming out and speaking up now?some of them unknown n with no careers.Are they doing it for publicity too?

Now he has again shared his views saying that it is a great movement that would empower women but it should not be gender specific. His tweet read as, “Is the #MeToo movement dead?The din the allegations the cacophony over?The debates over? The headlines gone? Some shamed some sacked others got away scot free.women’s revolution over?(sic)”

He also replied to some tweets that he doesn’t blindly support the movement.
Here are his tweets.
But in the same breath i dont blindly support it…i said it shld not be gender specific.wen adhyayan spoke about it he was shamed n ridiculed.where as wen the victim was a woman she was idolized.
The predator must be punished whether man or woman.— Shekhar Suman (@shekharsuman7) October 30, 2018
