I'm not going to post this in the AT because it's an AT.
I am furious with her. I cannot believe that was her response to another woman's distress. Of all people...I loved Gauhar the most in that situation. Gauhar!
I mean, come on, she should have made a huge deal out of it and made Armaan apologize! Right to dignity and right to protection from sexual harassment is a fundamental right in this country under Article 15 and 21 of the Constitution. The kind of lewd, disgusting comments he made, I would have expected someone who played Anandi for three years to turn on him immediately. I don't care how young she is. I'm her age. Especially with everything going on in the country, this is just the height of insensitivity, ignorance and disrespect for her own gender. Same goes for Kamya and everyone else who supported Armaan and didn't make a huge deal out of it.
I'm sorry, but this is the final straw. She is not at all who I thought she was, and not only can I not support her any more, if anyone is taking action to bring this to rights and have Armaan and Pratyusha issue a formal apology, I will side with them. This is not done, and needs to be set right, I don't care how controversial BB is, there are some lines that should never be crossed. She lacked basic human empathy today. SY, BV, Anandi - I don't care about any of it any more.
I'm sorry if this makes you all hate me. I really, really am. Clearly I am writing this in an angry state of mind and I can't write any proper goodbyes, but the thing is, even if I forgive her for this, I will not forget. Maybe in the highly unlikely scenario that she apologizes and over the years proves a good icon for women, I might start to care for her again. But until then, I will always be angry/neutral.
So what that means is, I don't know what it's going to do with my equation with you all. I'd like my name to be removed from the AT. If I'm going to be campaigning for her apology, I don't know if I'd be welcome in the CC either. I don't really know where this leaves us. So I guess I'll sign off with - I'm always available on PM. And I can't really think of anything else to say.
