Tanushree Dutta is someone who brought the whole #MeToo movement to India. However, the former beauty queen is yet to get justice against the misdeeds, which she claims happened to her on the sets of the movie ‘Horn Ok Pleassss’. However, she has not left the fight go. She is continuing her fight, and every now and then speaks up about other B-Town celebs’ tastes with #MeToo. Now again, she has spoken up against Neha Kakkar not pressing charges against the man who forcibly kissed her on the ‘Indian Idol’ stage.
Tanushree has once again spoken up in an open letter about the current happenings in Bollywood against the #MeToo campaign. She starts off by applauding Sona Mohapatra for blast Sony TV for taking back Anu Malik and slowly moves on to even take Neha Kakkar head-on. Here’s her full open letter:
I want to stand up, raise my hands up and applaud Sona Mohapatra along with others for fighting the good fight against Anu Malik’s reinstatement in Indian Idol. What shocks me most in this ordeal is how Sony TV which is supposed to be a family-friendly channel has allowed such a person to remain as a judge when several educated, talented, highly accomplished, intelligent, high profile women have come forward with their stories of harassment against him. I mean is TRP more important that our human values?? What are our values then?? and shouldn’t people who misbehave be held accountable for their deeds?? And why reinstate him at all after all those allegations surfaced?? This seriously brings into question the mindset of the channel team as well as the creators and management of the show. This also puts serious doubts on the mindset of the co-judges who agreed to be a part of the show especially Neha Kakkar who is also a successful woman singer herself much like Sona, Neha Bhasin, and Alisha Chinai.
Anyways Neha might have got a taste of what it feels like to be harrassed that too on TV not too long ago when a fan forcibly kissed her much to the shock of the whole nation!! But again like her decision to work with Mallik, Neha decided not to press charges on the disgusting guy who humiliated her in front of millions!!
It was super creepy and cringeworthy to watch a female celebrity being mauled like that on tv and what an example to set in front of the new generation by using that clip to promote the show Sony TV!! Not acceptable by any means.
Also, why not celebrate brave, bold and dynamic women like Sona Mohapatra who fight the good fight despite losing jobs, peace of mind and health?? These bravados should be promoted because the world will be a better place because of them. #replaceAnumallikwithSonaMohapatra
