The MeToo movement in 2018 was a landmark in the landscape of Hindi cinema when multiple perpetrators were named and shamed. But it seems the war is not over yet. We still have examples of such incidents that can leave actors and actresses scarred for life. The latest name is Krishna Mukherjee, the actress best known for Naagin and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.
She has accused the producer of her show Shubh Shagun of harassment and revealed in a long note to her fans how she’s dealing with anxiety and depression. She wrote- “ I never had the courage to speak my heart out but today I decided not to hold it back anymore. I am going through tough times and the last one and a half years was not at all easy for me. I was depressed, anxious and cried my heart out when I was alone. It all started when I started doing my last show “Shubh Shagun" for Dangal TV.”
The actress added, “That was the worst decision of my life. I never wanted to do it but I listened to others and signed the contract. The production house and the producer @kundan.singh.official has harassed me so many times.”
“They even once Locked me in my makeup room bez I was unwell and I decided not to shoot bez they were not paying me for my work plus I was unwell, they were banging my makeup room’s door as if they will break it, when I was changing my clothes. they never cleared my payments to date for 5 months. And it’s a really big amount. I have been to the production house and Dangal office but they never entertained me. Also was given dhamki many times," she continued.
