Vidya: Can’t judge victims
Actress Vidya Balan says she protected herself against “sleazy predators” and “casting couch” in the industry. According to Vidya, “You can't judge when women should speak about it or why they didn't speak about it earlier.”
“I come from a privileged background, so I always gave the vibe that I don’t need this, I’m only doing this as a passion, I’m very serious about this. But I won't react with people in a way that was personal. Maybe it's also a middle-class thing. If you smelt a rat, you'd rather keep away. That was my way of protecting myself.”
‘So many biopics are in the making right now and so many have already been made. I too would like to work on an underdog story. I think those are the most exciting biopics. I really can't name anyone off hand like this. I would like to maybe play a footballer star.’
— Arjun Kapoor

‘Weinstein raped me’
Norwegian model-actress Natassia Malthe has accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of rape. She claims Weinstein burst into her room at the Sanderson Hotel in london after the 2008 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards and forcefully had s*x with her.
Malthe said, “I was very reluctant to come forward today. It scares me in some ways.”
“I opened the door. His clothes were messy and his face did not look normal. Then I remember he took his pants off and sat on my bed. I panicked and started wondering what I should do. He began speaking about various A-list actresses who he claimed had slept with him. He told me that these actresses had gotten to where they were because of him and because they had s*x with him,” she added.
