Priyanka Chopra on #MeToo : “I don’t think it’s fizzled out”

As well as preparing herself for her wedding this weekend, Priyanka Chopra has also been working.

During an interaction with India Today, Chopra was asked about the #MeToo campaign. She said, “If there is no dialogue if no one talks about it, it’s not going to be a movement. We didn’t even have a debate, we didn’t even have a conversation. Today, we have the ability to have a conversation. Anyone sitting from Indore to Bareilly to New York to Mumbai can have a conversation about this. They can educate the children about it. We can educate the people around us. We can call out colleagues, co-actors. We can call out people who are behaving a certain way. So it’s on us to keep the debate alive.”

Asked if the movement had phased out, she added, “I don’t think it’s fizzled out. I think as usual, women are put in a position where they have to think about their careers, their lives because they are threatened. They are told ‘Don’t talk about it’ because powerful men come in and sort of disintegrate a woman’s voice and as usual that is happening. So it’s not the movement that has fizzled out, it’s the fact that we still live in a patriarchy that allows that.”
