He said that stringent rules should be implemented at every workplace. He added that not only workplaces, but in every sphere of life, including home and family, a code of conduct should be followed. He further said that women should feel safe irrespective of their profession. As far as the film fraternity is concerned, the actor said that not a single woman should feel unsafe and men should understand what consent is. “No one can touch other person without his or her consent and if anyone does that, then strict action should be taken against that individual,” he was quoted as saying by News18. He also said that while the steps that are being taken now to ensure a safe working environment, they should have come much earlier.
