Munmun Dutta

During the #MeToo movement, Taarak actor Munmun Dutta expressed her experience of falling victim to sexual assault. She revealed, "Writing something like this brings me to tears reliving those memories as a little girl when I was scared of the neighbourhood uncle and his prying eyes who at any given opportunity would grope me and threaten me not to speak about this to anyone...OR my much older cousins who would eye me differently than their own daughters, or the man who saw me at the hospital when I was born and 13 years later he thought it's appropriate for him to touch my body because I was a growing teenager and my body had changed..." Recounting her experiences further, Munmun had shared that she was even afraid of "my tuition teacher who had his hands in my underpants ....... OR this another teacher, whom I tied Rakhi to, would scold the female students in the class by pulling their bra straps and slapping on their breasts .... . OR that man in the train station who gropes U ... Why ?? Because you're too young and scared to speak up. So scared that you can feel your stomach getting twisted inside and throat getting choked up ... you don't know how you are going to explain it to your parents or you're too shy to utter a word to anyone..."
