Taapsee Pannu: “Every girl in India has gone through some awkward moment”

Taapsee Pannu is among those who have been selected by CINTAA to feature in their new committee looking at how to tackle sexual harassment, as part of the recent #MeToo movement in India. She shared how she will bring changes in.

“I haven’t faced harassment in terms of work but I think every girl in India has gone through some or the other awkward moment in public where she was eve-teased or touched inappropriately. So, every girl knows how it feels when you are touched at wrong places without your consent. And that’s the reason why we have people from different departments coming together so everything can be analyzed from all perspectives before reaching a conclusion,” said Pannu, in a recent interview with Hindustan Times.

On what she personally wants to bring into the committee, Pannu also said, “I want to first talk about the different stages at which this [sexual] harassment takes place and what can be done at all these stages to curb it. Also, I’d talk about cases reported… how we now try to work to find the truth before giving a statement against a person.”

The actress also stressed that she will not let this important work overshadow her film commitments and vice-versa.
