Shilpa Shinde rubbishes #metoo movement, expresses shock

New Delhi : TV actress Shilpa Shinde has rubbished the #metoo movement claiming that raising voice after years is useless and only helps in creating controversies.

According to the actress, there is nothing as rape in the industry, whatever happens is due to mutual consent. Talking to Times Now, she said, "It's rubbish. You have to take a call that time only, it's simple. You should speak about that matter that time only. Even I got a lesson. Jab hota hai, tabhi bolo - baad mei bolne ka koi faayeda nahi, it's useless. Baad mei aap voice raise karte ho, usko koi nahi sunega, just controversy hogi - nothing else. You have to take a call that time only when it happens and obviously, you need power."

"This industry is not bad and it's not very good. Everywhere these things happen. I don't know why khud hi industry ka naam kharaab kar rahe hai. (why is everyone themselves spoiling the name of the industry). So those who are working and they got work - sab hi log kharaab hai? (Is everyone wrong?) Aisa nahi hai, it totally depends on you. Aapse saamne waala insaan kaise react karta hai, aap usko kaise answer karte ho. (how someone reacts to you and how you react to someone) It's totally a give and take policy. Women are speaking now but at that time also I said that there's no rape in this industry - zabardasti nahi hota. (it's not forced) Whatever has happened in our industry, it's a mutual understanding. It's a mutual thing. If you are not ready to do that, just leave that thing,"she added.

In last couple of days, a lot of famous personalities have been tagged as the sexual assaulters after the victim women shared their story on social media platform under #metoo campaign.
