Salim Khan Speaks Up On #MeToo; Says, "Better Late Than Never"

Salim Khan is a man of opinions. He has never refrained from putting forth his voice. Now, that the nation is going through the #MeToo movement, Salim Khan has also spoken up about the same.

He took to Twitter to write, "The only defence they have is "Why so late ?” It is better late than never. You don’t have to wait for the result, you have already won great public support. Aadmi pahad se gir kar khadda ho sakta hai…apni nazron se girkar nahin (sic)."

Salim Khan's Tweet with regards to #MeToo Movement

Clearly, he is lashing out at the naysayers, many of whom have been questioning victims about coming out and naming the offenders years later. 

The whole #MeToo movement began with the allegations Tanushree Dutta put forth against Nana Patekar. She had said that during the shoot of an item song for Horn 'Ok' Pleassss, Nana wanted to change the steps of the song and wanted to add in an intimate step. This didn't go down well with Tanushree who decided to walk out of the sets after a while.

Soon after her opening up about the harassment, lots of women have come up and spoken about having faced sexual harassment or abuse or misconduct. Nobody expected that Tanushree's allegations against Nana will snowball into a revolution of sorts.
