Amitabh Bachchan finally takes stand on #MeToo, condemns sexual misconduct
Tanushree Dutta-led #MeToo movement has been spreading like wildfire in the industry with celebrities brimming with opinions. So far all eyes have been on megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who was called out by Tanushree for his silence on the burning issue. And now Amitabh has finally extended support to the #MeToo campaign and said no woman should be subjected to any kind of misconduct.
These acts should be immediately brought to notice: Amitabh
Condemning the acts of sexual misconducts, Amitabh, on his 76th birthday, stated that such acts should be immediately brought to notice and necessary actions should be taken by authorities. Amitabh also mentioned that no women should face such misbehavior or disorderly conduct, especially at her workplace. "Discipline and civic, social and moral curricula, should be adopted at a very early educational level," he added.
Women and children need special care
Further, Amitabh stated that women and children are the most vulnerable sections of the society who need to be dealt with special protective care. "It would be an unrepairable blemish if we are not able to provide them the welcome they deserve and the dignity of the security of their presence," he added. The man "who was neither Tanushree nor Nana" finally spoke up. Too little, too late.
