Bollywood as an industry is going through a turbulent phase. Ever since Tanushree Dutta leveled sexual harassment allegations against Nana Patekar, India’s #MeToo movement began. And after that plethora of names came out in the public domain.
Recently, celebrated and much-acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani has faced allegations of sexual misconduct. According to reports, the ‘3 Idiots’ director has been accused by a woman of sexually harassing her during the shoot of Sanjay Dutt’s biopic ‘Sanju’.
Recently Sherlyn Chopra while interacting with media made her stand quite clear on the #MeToo movement. Commenting on the allegations leveled against Hirani, Sherlyn said, ”I have always said that I support the #MeToo movement. When some individual’s name comes up, we should not make comments till we fully know about the matter. I don’t know about Rajkumar Hirani’s version or about the other person’s version. We should wait till the matter is investigated by the court. And truth has only one version.”
Rajkumar Hirani has found support from the industry and many prominent celebrities have rubbished the allegations leveled on him. The name of Hirani coming in the #MeToo controversy has obviously shocked quite a few people.
