There have been many actresses sharing their sexual harassment stories in the line of the ongoing #MeToo movement in India. And the new addition to the list of the actresses making allegations is Shama Sikander. The ‘Sexaholic’ star recalled her MeToo moment during her initial years in the industry.
Shama Sikander recently told Bollywood Life, “During the initial days of my career, when I was 14, a director put his hand on my thigh. I immediately said no and shook him off. He told me, ‘You think, you are going to be a star yaha koi nahi chodega tumhe. If not a director, an actor or producer might exploit you. You cannot grow without that. I was a 14-year-old who came with big aspirations and dreams.”
The actress clearly states that the entertainment industry is all about lust, darkness and glamour. After all, earlier many actresses have also shared their casting couch stories as well. However, Shama didn’t reveal the name of the person in her story.
So far renowned personalities like Nana Patekar, Alok Nath, Sajid Khan, Vipul Shah, Kailash Kher and others have been named as alleged sexual predators of the industry. After Tanushree Dutta’s allegations on Nana Patekar, the MeToo movement has taken over India.
