Slowly but eventually, the heroines across the country are opening up about the sexual harassments they have gone through to get the offers. The latest entrant to that inspiring list is actress Shruti Marathe, who is predominantly seen in Marathi films. The actress shared her story with Humans of Bombay.
She stated that a producer once asked her to compromise to give a film offer and has also used the word, one night. "I knew that I couldn't let this slip so I gave it back to him, I asked him, 'So if you want me to sleep with you, who are you making the hero sleep with?' He was stunned. Right after the meeting, I informed the others of his behaviour and they asked him to leave the project," she stated.
"All it took was one minute of being fearless - that day, I didn't just stand up for me... I stood up for every woman out there who has been objectified and judged for simply being who she is; for simply being ambitious," added Shruti. The netizens were moved by her story and showering with applause for facing the issues in a fearless way.
