The #MeToo movement that began over a year ago exposed the sexual predators in the entertainment industry and started gaining momentum as victims of the industry started coming forward with their stories, especially since a few of the well-known actors/directors were named as sexual abusers. Men haven't been spared from the torment either, as a Bollywood actor has opened up on his casting couch experience with a director.

Actor Rajeev Khandelwal, in an interview with a news agency, has revealed that men have been in the receiving end of inappropriate advances too. Rajeev reportedly stated, "The incident gave me flashes of a once-upon-a-time super director who had offered me a movie back then when I did not start doing films. Next time, he called me from his office to his room, and then he made me sit there and decided not to give me the story, instead asked me to decide whether I want to do the movie based on one song. By the second meeting, I had realized things were just not alright. It turned into a hilarious situation as well. I found myself feeling how any woman in my place would have felt. He asked me to go to his room which I refused to. I dropped names and mentioned that I have a girlfriend back then waiting for me so that the guy knows that I am straight."

"Later, he offered me a two-film deal, saying that he had heard that I was doing a small budget-movie, which was Aamir, at that time. I replied to him saying that I was happy with my small budget movie. I don't know what happened to his film when it came out," he further added. Shedding light on the MeToo movement, the actor said, "Whether it's a man or a woman, we can actually relate to it. And it is all based on how much we are fed. Even when we talk about the MeToo movement, how much do we know? We form our opinions and judgement on the basis of what we read. I have never met any of the cases personally, so I don't know the truth. We have been reading two versions of the story, one completely different from the other. And of course, when you write something, you colour it in your own way also."

Rajeev concluded, "When it comes to it being a movement (MeToo), it's great in terms of generating fear for all those who have been exploiting from powerful positions, but we cannot rally our support without knowing the truth. The moment I form an opinion, I am crucifying the person."
