The allegations come in the backdrop of the release of the Hema committee report, which has shed light on incidents of sexual abuse and harassment against women artists and technicians in the Malayalam film industry.
Speaking to Times Now, the actress said that times are changing as women have started understanding the abuse and added that “understanding is more important than solidarity.”
“I consider this a victory, but again, it is time for it to be withdrawn. It is women who started this fight, speaking up for each other. We support each other and I can see the change. I know that times are changing. They are ready to learn. They have started understanding, observing and learning the various aspects of abuse. Understanding is more than solidarity. We can see that change and that has given hope. Earlier, there used to be a massive attack on women. Just because we chose to speak up, I used to hear a lot of abuse. That was the most difficult phase of my life. That affected me a lot,” she said.
