Known as the Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood, Aamir Khan has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons since the past few days. Aamir recently announced that he will be starring in sexual assault accused Subhash Kapoor’s ‘Mogul’.
Actress Geetika Tyagi, who had filed the molestation case against Subhash, lashed out at Aamir for his decision. Now former actress, Tanushree Dutta has slammed the ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ actor for re-joining Subhash Kapoor’s next.
Aamir had initially exited ‘Mogul’, citing that he has zero-tolerance towards sexual harassment and predatory behaviour. This was after Subhash’s name had once again cropped up in the Me Too movement.
On his decision to work with Subhash, Aamir said that since the charges filed against him are not proven yet, he is entitled to earn a livelihood.
Slamming Aamir’s decision, Tanushree Dutta said in a statement, “How come nobody in Bollywood has sleepless nights when a girl who is an upcoming professional becomes a victim of harassment or abuse of some kind and is inadvertently out of the industry and not able to work out of humiliation, trauma and ostracization? How come nobody thinks of the livelihood of those women who have had to let go of promising, flourishing careers due to harassment at the workplace? There seems to be so much compassion for the #MeToo accused floating around but none for the alleged victims it seems.”

“I know this is a very tricky situation and one that many well-meaning people in the industry face today and Aamir Khan could be one of those or perhaps it’s a well-crafted excuse. Only he and his God knows. Being a woman, it’s a task finding your place in the world and then when it’s taken away from you, it’s an uphill ride getting your feet firm again. No compassion for me, Aamir?” Tanushree concluded criticising the actor.
Let’s see now how Aamir reacts to this? Until then stay tuned for more updates on this story.
