Sapna Bhavnani – the famous celebrity hairstylist, who’s mostly known for her stint in a former season of Bigg Boss has called out Amitabh Bachchan, in reference to the ongoing MeToo movement.
The self-proclaimed feminist, and outspoken lass does not have a specific incident or behavioral misconduct to recount, but she cited ‘loud whispers’ about Bachchan’s alleged sexual misconduct from the past, while urging survivors to speak out.
So, is Big B also accused of sexual harassment?
Here is what Sapna wrote in her Tweet:
“This has to be the biggest lie ever. Sir, the film Pink has released and gone and your image of being an activist will soon too. Your truth will come out very soon. Hope you are biting your hands cuz nails will not be enough. @SrBachchan #Metoo #MeTooIndia #comeoutwomen.”
She further added:
“Have personally heard so many stories of Bachchan’s sexual misconduct and I I hope those women come out. His hypocrisy is sooooo tired. #Metoo #MeTooIndia”
Obviously, when it comes to a star of Big B’s level – the comment was going to invite a lot of hate and backlash from his fans. Twitter was soon abuzz with replies to Sapna’s tweets by folks, who called her out for ‘misusing’ the movement and dragging someone’s name in the mud, even without any incident as an example.
Sapna was soon at the verge of receiving several threats from Sr. Bachchan’s fans:
“folks telling me that i should be scared of losing my life …. huh??? why?? cuz i said his stories will come out soon???? is this how we keep women shut now?”
Do you think Sapna should have refrained from dragging a name, until a true conduct or actual story from the past comes into existence?
