EXCLUSIVE: Iulia Vantur on Me Too: We will reach a point where men and women will be so much separated
We met Iulia Vantur as she was promoting Radha Kyon Gori Main Kyon Kaala. We asked her take on the ongoing scenario of the Me Too movement in India.
The #MeToo movement against sexual harassment broke in when Tanushree Dutta spoke about her ordeal and shared that she was harassed by Nana Patekar on the sets of the film Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008. Post this BIG revelation, there was a cascade of allegations. Women are finally breaking their shell and sharing their stories in front of the whole world. Big names like that of Alok Nath and Sajid Khan have been highlighted and many other accounts have jolted the entire foundation of the entertainment industry. Every other minute, we are listening to these gut-wrenching stories. But there were some that were fake.
We met Iulia Vantur as she was promoting Radha Kyon Gori Main Kyon Kaala. We asked her take on the ongoing scenario of the Me Too movement in India. On this, she said, “This #MeToo is about a person using the position to take advantage of the women. I have heard many men around saying I don’t have the courage to say a girl that I like her because of this whole movement. We will reach at one point where men and women will be so much separated and won’t find a way to connect. We have to use it in a proper way just to remove the negative things which are happening wrong and not to break us apart.”
“We have to come together and I feel men are very supportive with this #MeToo cause so we shouldn’t misuse it. Just respect it and understand it. Women should have, again, the courage to speak about it but after they know what exactly they are talking about,” Iulia added.
She is all set to make her mark in Indian Film Industry with Radha Kyo Gori Main Kyon Kaala. In an interview, Iulia opened up about her upcoming project, Radha Kyon Gori Main Kyon Kaala based on the life of a rape survivor. She mentioned that the movie shows the struggle her character goes through post the assault and how she copes up with life afterwards. On the launch of the poster of the film, Salman Khan was present to encourage her and she mentioned that it was him who had urged her to take up the role.
