Radhika Apte talks about #MeToo

The founder of Kwan Entertainment, a celebrity management agency, has been sacked after being accused by four aspiring actresses of seeking sexual favours. In light of his dismissal, actress Radhika Apte has come out in support of the agency, saying, “I am completely and closely in contact with them. The people associated with Kwan have helped me, and I have a great relationship with them. They are taking the required action as we all support the movement.”

Talking about MJ Akbar’s resignation from the position of Minister of State for External Affairs as a result of the raging #MeToo campaign, she says, “There are so many people involved, and there are so many things that are yet to come out. We can’t comment on every individual case at this stage.”

The actress adds, “All I can say is that, as an industry, we are trying to come together to make a system that ensures we all have a safe work environment. I am a part of that effort, and I hope that we come up with a constructive system that is equal and genderless.”
