When the #MeToo movement hit India, the wave brought faces of many culprits forward but unfortunately it receded into the deep waters as quickly as it came. We recently brought to you our elaborate conversation with Chitrangda Singh, during which we also touched upon the topic of sexual favours in Bollywood.
The Inkaar actress had a rather candid perspective to the situation, while not taking away from those who have suffered assault. Watch the video below (from 20:41):
"There are people like this everywhere. Right from my modelling days to Bollywood- I have seen them at all times. Corporate industry is just as bad. Yes, it has happened with me but, I would like to say that Bollywood industry is not the place where anybody forces you. There is enough space and respect for everyone and their choices. You do feel bad when you lose an opportunity but then those are the choices you make. So, you don't sulk about it. It feels bad and I have lost out on projects too but at the same time if you are comfortable with it, then go ahead and do it. I am not here to judge anyone," Chitrangda expressed her opinion.
The actress further stated how there are all sorts of favours people look out for, not just sexual. And it's just the imbalance which exits in our being. She said, "There is not just sexual favour but other sort of favours too, which people seek. That's the way world functions, so you make your choices and live the way you like."
Chitrangda ended the discussion on the topic by saying that everyone's choices should be respected and not judged. "I am not taking away from anyone who has been in the situation, I am not judging. This is just my point of view," concluded the actress.
