Kajol speaks about working in Bollywood post #MeToo movement
Kajol and Shruti Haasan were recently seen in a women-empowering short-film titled 'Devi'. The actresses were at the movie's promotions when they were asked if they found any changes in working with men post #MeToo movement.
Kajol happened to mention that all kinds of men have taken seven steps back thanks to the #MeToo movement. "I think somewhere down the line — good, bad, indifferent took seven steps back. And I think that was necessary also. And yes we have seen a difference and everything was done and is still done a lot more cautiously with a lot more thought. There’s a lot more thought into everybody’s daily interaction whether it’s on a set or in an office," she said.
Shruti Haasan also narrated an incident that left her proud and mentioned, "So after this #MeToo movement happened, I was taking a flight to London. And someone sitting in front of me with a laptop was reading a manual of physical proximity and how to deal with it in the workspace. And I thought to myself that this has really raised the awareness about all this. That somebody is questioning and you’re answerable. Quite honestly I didn’t think India would take the #MeToo movement to that level. But it did and it made me very proud."
In another news, Ajay Devgn paid a tribute to Kajol on International Women's Day. Sharing a photo of him with daughter Nysa and wife Kajol on Instagram, Ajay wrote, "The women in my life- my mother, sisters, wife, teachers & daughter spell strength. Saluting them."
