The past few days have been a revolution of sorts in India especially because of the number of women who are coming forward to name, shame and blame their sexual harassers. Big names, powerful names are biting the dust and have to resort to extending apologies. They are being shunned and thrown out of projects because of their misdeeds, something that never happened before all thanks to the #MeToo movement. Along with Nana Patekar, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl, Utsav Chakraborty even Rajat Kapoor’s name came out of sexual misconduct.
Rajat was accused of sexual misconduct by two women recently. One of them alleged that he had asked her about her body measurements. Another woman accused him of touching her inappropriately when she was 19 years old and he had proceeded to hug her and in turn touched her bottom. A journalist took to her Twitter and posted a series of screenshots which was provided by an anonymous user.

The girl was later harassed again when they reconnected on Facebook and the actor would keep texting her with inappropriate messages calling her ‘Little B*tch’whilee she was told to call him ‘Master’. She also alleged that the actor kissed her 8 times without her consent. Read the entire account below.

The #MeToo movement gained momentum when Tanushree Dutta came out and called Nana for the sexual harassment he subjected her to on the film sets of Horn OK Pleasss. Many celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, Vir Das, Imran Khan, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha etc have come out in support to the movement and tried to give due credit to the victims and survivors.
