'MeToo Movement' is far bigger than me: Tanushree Dutta
Actress
Tanushree
Dutta is rightly regarded as the founding-mother of the "MeToo
Movement" in India. When she spoke on her experience of being
harassed 10 years ago, she opened up the floodgates for numerous other women
from every walk of life to come forward with their stories.
But
now, Tanushree is done. She is all set to return to the US, and refuses to take
credit for starting the "MeToo
Movement" in India.
"The
media is just making a heroine out of an ordinary person's organic journey. I
was not the doer but just a conduit and a vessel through which some change or
awareness had to come about in society," she said.
Not
that she is distancing herself completely from the movement. "In a way, I
needed retribution too from the incident that pushed me back several years in
my professional life."
But
now it's time for her to return to routine life in the US.
