also read the statement made by Ms Tapsee Pannu about Anurag Kashyap being the ‘biggest feminist’ she knew & I honestly buckled over gobsmacked. Shows how little she knows. Anyone would see otherwise if you just watched his films & his portrayal of women. Having said that.. (2)

The #MeToo movement is 1 where someone speaks their truth, in this case Payal is telling her story & for 100’s to be asking me about this has been a harrowing.I’ve worked with Anurag Kashyap. Haven’t experienced anything. Can’t make up a story to please the mob & sorry (not). (3)

AK’s public defence of Tarun Tejpal always made me squirm. Spoke ignorantly,no clue about the lopsided power structure in workplaces! A W.I.P in such matters, possibly evolving as a human like other entitled men at best.’Biggest Feminist’, Not. Guilty? Should be investigated .(4)

I personally have no clue about how such an investigation can even happen in the current world we live in. Unless more women (or men) come forward with other such instances of abuse of power by Anurag? It’s her word against his etc? Doesn’t go anywhere?Except tabloid TV 😣🙄(5)

In the industry system that we have, convenience & coteries rule, not conscientiousness. Women; mostly pretty faces ‘seeking opportunities’ from men in the driving seats even after they achieve success. So @IndiaMeToo has had almost no working actor make a call out of consequence

Forget about joining a movement like #Metoo , that didn’t happen but not one Veteran,young Turk,Queen or Princess from Bollywood expressed any solidarity for the few of us who fought lone, punishing battles.Interesting to see the opposite.Actresses for AK..Tells you a lot. (8)

So, yes, none of this #SmashPatriarchy sloganeering by most of our industry rings true therefore... There are exceptions to this but exceptions don’t make the rule. I have met, even worked with some of these exceptions & feel grateful for that. Hope & pray that tribe grows. (9)

Meanwhile, #India ,stop obsessing with this one category; film people & their lives.MJ Akbar, a powerful serial offender,with multiple women having spoken up about being abused by him, actually took the victim to court for defamation.Want to fight for justice?Follow that.🙏🏾(10)

(P.S: & since most won’t get it- the Queen in tweet (8) refers to the current messiah of the masses; Kangana who speaks many truths about the industry, yes, but isn’t very different from those she ‘complains about’ in her own actions. bully✅self-serving ✅ casteist✅Mean etc ✅)

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo That too after so many years.

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Finally someone from Bollywood especially a women is talking some sense... More power to u 💪

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Thank you mam for speaking truth 🙏🙏

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo The best thing abt you is ,you views are logical..well thought n processed( u dont go by anything said jus like tat) and also you are open to discussions (not like ...cant stand any other view other than yours) .stay strong...as always...

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo This is most adjusted point of view. Probably most mature response.

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Always a fan of yours for the pure pleasure of singing quality and as much as for being a sane righteous voice in the insane and pompous place the Bollywood is. More power to you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Kehna kya chahati ho🤷🏼‍♂️

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Oh please!!! If a man attacks you would you stick around having a conversation with him??? She all but agrees to "enjoy" with him bt was not comfortable at that moment? She goes to meet him days later where she stick around,has a conversation after he flashes himself, really???

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo Among all you are talking sensibly and being unbiased 😍

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo I think it reflects poorly on him to have mentioned their names. I don’t expect anything from survivors. I don’t think they should be expected to hold to any standard of good behaviour. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@sonamohapatra @IndiaMeToo While you went on to accuse Anu Malik after so many years. What were you doing meanwhile? And why choose media when we have judiciary. You could have found better ways of getting your PR done. If someone was being molested they should report instantly.
