Khushbu Sundar the popular actor and Politician said women have to stand up, come out and speak up. Asked whether she faced any such instances, she said that there was a very stray incident when she had just entered South Indian cinema.She was reacting on the Me-too incidents here in the film industry and Malayalam Industry in specific.
“There was a producer who approached me because I was here alone and I didn’t have a Godfather. So probably this producer must have thought that I would succumb to the pressure,” Khusbhu said.
“He gave me kind of a hint when he walked into my makeup room when I was shooting for a Telugu film. I removed my slippers and told him I wear 41 size.
Do you want to take a whack right here or do you want me to hit you in front of the unit? And that put him in place,” she told.
Adding that women have to stand up for themselves at the “very moment”.
She also said that not only women, but men should also come out and support them.
Because we women work in an atmosphere thinking probably men around us would be there to support us and protect us. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen at times,” she said.
