Tanushree Dutta: If Aamir Agreed To Work With Subhash Kapoor, Why Not Work With Geetika Tyagi Who Kapoor Sexually Harassed?

Tanushree Dutta has come back to Mumbai. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any good news to greet her. After she landed in Mumbai, she got to know Aamir Khan was now doing the biopic on Gulshan Kumar - Mogul with #MeToo accused Subhash Kapoor

Aamir feels, a person is not guilty if he is not proved. He remains innocent. "I could not sleep at night because I used to feel that my actions have inadvertently caused a person, about whose guilt I have no idea, to lose his right to earn a livelihood."  

Tanushree feels all of that is hypocritical talk. In a statement to Midday, the actress said, "How come nobody in Bollywood has sleepless nights when a woman becomes a victim of abuse and is not able to work due to the trauma and ostracisation," she questions, not afraid to call out the industry for its double standards. "If he has agreed to hire this guy [Kapoor], why not hire the woman [Geetika Tyagi] who suffered the consequences of his actions? Why do only the creepy men of Bollywood get compassion? Let the girls also see some of that saintly do-goodery."

According to the same report, Dutta feels that Khan has demeaned the very purpose of the #MeToo movement by saying yes to work with Subash Kapoor. "It was to heal the wounds of those who have no validation from the court for the injustices they bore. Compassion should be universal. If it's so selective as is being displayed by the Bollywood's bigwigs, then it's not compassion. It's convenience and ignorance. Nobody bothered to ask me how I was doing when my livelihood was snatched away after the Horn Ok Pleassss (2009) harassment episode. No compassion for me, Aamir?"

The actress further countered Khan's belief that one is innocent until proven guilty, saying, "only the survivor understands the pain of having to see their perpetrators flourish while they wait for a court verdict that puts a stamp of approval on their complaint. If every alleged harasser gets reinstated, then the goal of an abuse-free workplace becomes a distant dream."
