#MeToo: Kubbra Sait slams Niharika Singh, defends Nawazuddin Siddiqui
What's the story
Bollywood's #MeToo movement was highlighted once again after former beauty queen Niharika Singh accused Nawazuddin Siddiqui of repeated sexual harassment.
The actress alleged Nawazuddin misbehaved with her while they were dating each other.
Her revelations brought him under the scanner of #MeToo.
And while we were waiting for the actor to speak up, actress Kubbra Sait has come out in the support of Nawazuddin.
Kubbra's statement
Relationship gone sour isn't #MeToo: Kubbra
After Niharika shared her ordeal against her ex-beau Nawazuddin, Kubbra rubbished her claims and said that a relationship turned sour isn't a part of #MeToo.
In a series of tweets, she said that people "need to recognize the toxic difference before we go picking sides".
"I stand by #NawazuddinSiddiqui or #Nowaz as a man," Kubbra added.

Kubbra on Niharika
Niharika's #MeToo is incorrectly placed: Kubbra
Kubbra further stated that she doesn't deny the fact that Niharika might have faced struggle and must have had a tough time in the industry.
However, Kubbra maintained that she had placed her personal relationship incorrectly under #MeToo.
"Categorizing her once personal relationship as a #MeToo statement is incorrectly placed. We as humans are flawed. That isn't gender specific," Kubbra wrote.

Kubbra gives her piece of advice to Niharika
I stand by the fact that although Niharika Singh may have had a tough time in the industry, categorising her once personal relationship as a #MeToo statement is incorrectly placed. We as humans are flawed. That isn’t gender specific.

Niharika's post
Context: Niharika wrote a long post against Nawazuddin
Notably, Niharika had penned a long post about her relationship with Nawazuddin describing how he harassed her.
She also alleged that Nawazuddin was involved with several women and was married to a woman in Haldwani.
After Niharika came to know about Nawazuddin's lies, she stopped dating him.
We wonder what Nawazuddin has to say in his defense in the matter.
