'If he hired Subhash Kapoor, why not the woman?': Tanushree Dutta questions Aamir Khan over working with #MeToo accused

Ever since Aamir Khan announced that he is back on Mogul, working with #MeToo accused Subhash Kapoor, in power of actor and producer, the superstar has been in news almost every day. Social media has been reigning abuses on the actor for taking such a decision.

Aamir, fully aware of the consequences of his action, went on to give a lengthy interview in which he justified himself by stating that he felt guilty because Subhash Kapoor did not receive any work after Khan walked out of Mogul. He confessed of having sleepless nights because of his action. Tanushree Dutta, who was the reason for #MeToo storm in India, gave an interview to Mid-Day where she counter-questioned the actor.

"How come nobody in Bollywood has sleepless nights when a woman becomes a victim of abuse and is not able to work due to the trauma and ostracisation," stated Tanushree with a smirk.

She went on to ask, "If he has agreed to hire this guy [Kapoor], why not hire the woman [Geetika Tyagi] who suffered the consequences of his actions? Why do only the creepy men of Bollywood get compassion? Let the girls also see some of that saintly do-goodery."

In conclusion, Tanushree mentioned, "It was to heal the wounds of those who have no validation from the court for the injustices they bore. Compassion should be universal. If it's so selective as is being displayed by the Bollywood's bigwigs, then it's not compassion. It's convenience and ignorance. Nobody bothered to ask me how I was doing when my livelihood was snatched away after the Horn Ok Pleassss (2009) harassment episode. No compassion for me, Aamir?"
