The Malayalam film industry's Hema Committee report has been causing ripples, prompting many to come forward and share their bitter experiences of harassment. Responding to the wave, Tollywood actress and producer Manchu Lakshmi recently opened up about her own experiences.
Lakshmi shared that she, too, faced sexual harassment at the beginning of her career but dealt with it bravely. She emphasized the importance of standing up against anyone who behaves inappropriately, encouraging immediate confrontation. 👊
In a recent statement, Manchu Lakshmi made shocking remarks about the silence of Tollywood heroes regarding such issues. She praised those who have had the courage to speak out about the injustices they faced but expressed disappointment over the lack of support from male actors in the Telugu industry for the #MeToo movement.
Lakshmi said, "Every industry should take inspiration from the Hema Committee report and address such problems. It surprises me that no male actors from Tollywood have come forward to support #MeToo." She further added, "Only a few are speaking up, but that number is not enough. I have nothing to lose by speaking out, but there are many women who feel they have too much to lose, and that's why they remain silent." 🌟
Manchu Lakshmi's comments have stirred conversations, urging more accountability and support from Tollywood's men. 💬
