Radhika Apte opens up on men facing sexual harassment in Bollywood

Actress Radhika Apte recently spoke about sexual abuse and stated that it is not limited to women in the film industry as she knows a lot of men who have been subjected to a misdemeanor. “I am specifically talking about the industry, I know a lot of men who have gone through this as well. It’s high time this comes out,” Radhika said. “Also, as the industry becomes more open and people from different parts come here – not just for people from their own production house or family – it’s more important that we have a platform,” she continued.

“People who exploit their power and abuse others need to be revealed. On the other hand, people are ambitious and are ready to do what is required. It needs to work from both the sides,” she added. “You need to learn to say no and need to recognise when you’re being exploited. You will get your due, according to your talent. at some time. Some people come here running away from home, they have nothing to fall back on. A better organisation, rules and transparency will help a lot,” she said.

The actress further added, “The fear also comes from ‘Who is going to believe me? The other person has so much power, my complain will go unnoticed, that’ll ruin my career'. That’s the perception. I think more need to people speak up.” On the work front the actress will be seen next in the Akshay Kumar starrer 'Padman'.
