Television star Nakuul Mehta has recently expressed his concerns regarding the Hema Committee Report, which has brought to light numerous instances of sexual harassment in the Malayalam film industry. Taking to social media, Nakuul stressed the importance of the report and urged people to pay attention to the ongoing issues in Kerala, stressing that the impact of this report should resonate beyond just the Malayalam industry.
Nakuul shared an article about the Hema Committee Report, pointing out that the findings should matter to everyone, regardless of industry or profession. He tagged the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) handle for their incredible efforts. Mehta's post reads, "This must affect all of us. Every industry. Every woman & man. Working or otherwise."
In another Instagram story, the Ishqbaaaz actor mentioned that while people are often quick to show support for various causes online, it's crucial to take the time to truly understand the struggles that others are facing, even if they are happening in different parts of the country. The Hema Committee Report has shaken the Malayalam film industry and the overall entertainment news world.
Nakuul Mehta's story further reads, "It may take a few more to learn about the struggles which women & men may be fighting in another part of our country which may or may not affect us directly. But if you do chose to do that, you may actually end up moving needle a tiny bit more than sharing one more solidarity story. 'Let's attempt' to read, learn, be aware, have dialogues, understand and figure out ways in which we could offer any support to these revolutions. Let not their valiant efforts not be known to humankind. @wcc_cinema."
In the wake of the report, significant developments have occurred, including the resignation of Mohanlal and the entire executive committee of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), a move that has sent shockwaves through the industry. A few days after his resignation, Mohanlal spoke to the media about the report. The actor said, "Many people are involved in it. But everyone cannot be blamed for this. Those responsible will be punished, investigation is going on."
