After Tinaa Dattaa's statement about ironing out differences with Mohit Malhotra, Ashoke Pandit slammed the actor for trivialising #MeToo movement
Earlier, Tinaa Dutta accused her Daayan co-star Mohit Malhotra of touching her inappropriately while shooting for some intimate scenes. The actor had said, "I have done rape scenes, romantic scenes and intimate scenes before in my career, but never faced something like this with anyone before. He (Mohit Malhotra) is so annoying. He is so frustrated. Nobody gives excuses like him that woh scene mein bahek gaya tha. He can't say he got carried away. He was obviously doing it deliberately. It is so clear if a girl is uncomfortable, you can understand from her body language."
Now, Tinaa revealed in a statement that Mohit and she have sorted out their differences. The Uttaran actor said, "Mohit and I have ironed out the differences. We have concluded to make a new start. I don’t have any issues working with him. Our on-screen chemistry works for the show and shall maintain a professional environment for the betterment of the show. I am happy that the viewers have liked the show and I am sure this new start will be appreciated by all and will put a rest to any further speculation."
This led to the Chief Advisor of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), Ashoke Pandit slamming Tinaa for trivialising the #MeToo movement. He spoke to a media agency, "What does she mean by ironed out differences? Is this a shirt that you can iron? These were serious allegations of sexual misconduct. How can she just throw them around and withdraw them whenever she wants? Is this a joke?"
Ashoke further said, "I'd say they are doing the movement a great disservice and should be punished for using the platform to settle personal scores. At least, that is what it seems like. You're working with a co-star for years and suddenly you have intimacy issues. His behaviour suddenly bothers you. And we as a film federation and as male members of the entertainment industry are deeply concerned."
He concluded by saying, "But when a few days later you withdraw your grave allegations, you belittle our efforts to bring justice to women who have been really wronged. Madame, this is not a joke. Neither is it a platform where you can come and go at your will."
We wonder what Tinaa and the whole team of Daayan have to say about Ashoke Pandit's statement about her act.
