While the initiative by women to level allegations against sexual harassers has been strongly backed every person, television actor Karan Oberoi also voiced his support for the campaign.

“I unequivocally support and endorse it from the bottom of my heart and was hoping and wishing that this would happen sooner. The entertainment industry is not a meat packaging industry where one can abuse and kill the sanctity of the creative process, or use it to get your rocks off,” Karan said.

“Beautiful, lovely sensitively told stories and expression emanates from a pure place. And they ought not to be tainted by insidious agendas,” he added.

Explaining the misuse of power in India, Karan said “India is a country that trips on power, which explains the power index quotient of ours. The unabashed power makes these offenders feel invincible and beyond reproach and in turn lead them to believe that they can get away with bloody murder.”

“This strong sense of male entitlement which comes with power, money, and fame has to go.  The entertainment industry has the spotlight to create an example so that it becomes a deterrent for predatory behaviour in other professions as well”, added Karan.

Karan said that it would be quite a travesty if this movement is being or will be used to settle personal vendettas.

“Also, if it gets restricted to easier targets while big guns who have been perpetuating this nonsense for ages get away by just tweeting their support and not being held accountable for their actions, would imply that with power, money, and influence, you can get away with injustice,” Karan concluded.
