Ironically, Entertainment industry is the hub of sexual harassment
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein incident, a lot of people from Hollywood have openly spoken about sexual harassment cases. In fact, it has opened a can of worms. We are aware of the deep-seated misogyny and sexism prevalent across industries. In Hollywood, it is just more pronounced. But, are the men and women of Bollywood ready to name their Weinsteins? Perhaps, not.
