Emraan Hashmi On #MeToo: We Just Jump The Gun & Start Making Accusations

Rajkumar Hirani has been accused by a woman assistant who worked with him in Sanju.

January 18, 2019

Actor Emraan Hashmi, amid an allegation of sexual harassment against filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, has said that the #MeToo movement is great but one that needs a proper process of investigation.

Emraan was interacting with the media to promote Why Cheat India at a multiplex along with co-star Shreya Dhanwanthary here on Wednesday.

Hirani has been accused by a woman assistant who worked with him in Sanju.

#MeToo movement great, but there has to be some due process: Emraan HashmiEmraan Hashmi On #MeToo: We Just Jump The Gun & Start Making Accusations

Asked about it Emraan said: "Right now, he is not proven guilty. I can't really speak on the matter because I don't know the details. If the allegations are true, then there has to be some kind of action taken. But we don't know just as yet. This is a thing with this movement.

"It's a great movement but there has to be some kind of due process. We just jump the gun and start making accusations. We understand that the accusations have been made but there has to be some kind of process where there is some kind of investigation, so I hope that gets done for the girl.

Talking about Why Cheat India, Emraan said: "It's very relevant film about education system and things that are holding it down and corruption that has plagued it so I feel it's really a unique high-concept subject and we are hoping for the best with the release of our film.

Unfortunately in a country like India, most of the time the investigations give zero result and in the end it favors the accused only.
Personally I believe that it takes a lot of guts as a victim to come out and speak out against those people who have had harassed them, especially against the public figures. So no matter whether proven or not, I would love to give kudos to those ladies because they took the risk of having a negative impact on their career but still spoke their heart out.

His film director is Soumik Sen who was exposed.

His film posters still carry his name and not a Single Left backed Feminist cornered him. Because he is a Muslim star and the accused director is Pro-Left.

Interesting angle. But wasnt every standup comic star exposed Pro-Left too. AIB was Pro-Left and what bhakts call urban-naxals 😆

No, he does not. He is making sense when he says there should be due process of Law. Am questioning how nobody cornered him for not firing the director or removing his name from posters? Same happened with Dibakar Bannerjee who was defended by Anurag Kashyap long back. The outrage varies depending on Political Allegiance of the accused.

He is right in a way.. People are quick to pass judgement against the accused like those girls who beat up a guy incident.. but the problem with harresment is that proving it can be rather difficult.. So ya.. this does seem like a major problem.. However, I think those in close contact with the accused and the accuser aee in a better position to judge

Yeah. But they got exposed themselves. Even in West, it is these "woke" guys who were exposed more. Varun Grover is back in Sacred Games. Look at the silence over Raju Hirani.

Compare it to the blogs and words that were used against Nana Patekar for a dance sequence?

Varun Grover proved his innocence through an extremely detailed post so he's clean.

Yeah most of them use feminism or their supposed progressive mindset to score women or get social media brownie points. Few very men are actual allies.

Raju Hirani doesn't really have the support of left liberal twitter. He's been called out for whitewashing a criminal. Even this case he's been called out. Also the major details of the actual deed isnt public which is fine imo. Tanushree detailed out everything and there was footage of goondagiri too. Hence more blogs.
