The #MeToo campaign is gaining momnetum with Bollywood celebrities coming out and, naming the perpetrators and supporting the survivors, while encouraging more people to step out and speak against the wrong done to them.
Joining the bandwagon is actor Vicky Kaushal, who believes that #MeToo movement is bringing an important and much needed cultural shift.
The Manmarziyaan actor says that it is necessary to believe women and pay attention to their stories.
"It is an important cultural shift. It is a beautiful shift happening. It is so amazing to see so many women coming out with their stories of what happened with them. It doesn't matter whether it is one day or one year or ten years or 100 years. It is still very difficult for women to come out with a story like this and place it in front of the entire world in it's most naked form," the actor said.
"The least we can do is we can hear them and give them a platform and dignity to say what happened with them and assure them that it will be taken seriously. It is high time something like this happened," Vicky further said at India Film Project on Saturday.
Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, who was also present at the event for a session titled 'Role of Criticism in Insta Generation', chose to stay mum on the #MeToo movement.
When asked about rumours of the second season of Sacred Games being cancelled, Vikramaditya said, "No comments."
He also refused to comment on his former Phantom Films partner Vikas Bahl sending notice to him.
Vikas Bahl has been accused of sexual harassment by a former female employee of now dissolved production banner, Phantom Films, and was also called a sexual offender by production partner Vikramaditya Motwane.
Anurag Kashyap also criticised Bahl for his actions.
Both Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane released separate statements calling out Vikas Bahl, who then sent notices to the filmmakers.
