Not just in Pakistan but the #MeToo movement is picking up in India as well. A lot of celebrities from Bollywood are happy that finally, women are gaining the courage to speak against sexual harassment and its predators. Aishwarya Rai appreciated the campaign and said more strength and support should be given to these women.
In an interview she said: “The #MeToo movement has gained momentum in present times. The world has got smaller with social media, one voice is becoming larger. What is nice to see in present time is that the members of the media are becoming allied and propelling voices that needs to be heard and giving them the platform. The law of the land will take over for justice to be served. It wouldn’t be right to specifically comment on individual cases as matters would be sub judice and that would not be responsible on our part but having said that, God bless and strength to the voices that need that kind of support and you all need to be there.”
She added:
“As a team (L’Oral Paris) here, we have always been about ‘I am worth it, you are worth it, we are worth it’. We have been celebrating women empowerment for the longest. Sabya very blatantly in his choices and campaigns, he also has also. We all walk the talk. It is not just about talking. We have always been about women empowerment and we are very righteous. We will extend our support to anyone, appealing for support in whatever issues that need the attention.”
