The Me too movement in India had taken social media by storm. Ever since Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment. In wake of the movement, many Indian prominent celebrities including Nana Patekar, Alok Nath, Sajid Khan, Vikas Bahl, Jatin Das and Vicky Sidana among others were accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by women from all fields of profession.

Bollywood celebrities have also spoken about the movement and many have come out in support of the victims. Recently actress Sonam Kapoor spoke about the movement.

As guest editor for Thrive Global India's online portal, Sonam has penned a note on how people must learn to deal with the #MeToo wave where prominent celebs have been called out for sexual harassment

"I am privileged that I did not grow up with relatives for whom off-handed sexist remarks were the dinner table norm. Or where women were asked to shut up and look down. That safety net, this spotlight and a stage for my opinion has always encouraged me to have a voice," said Sonam.

She penned down suggestions which can help everyone be a part of this movement. She urged people to believe survivors. One of the points Sonam's stressed on was on 'Ditch the entitlement. She also asked people to 'Understand consent'. She stated that "If it's a no, then it's an unequivocal no."

She also said people need to call out all the men and women in their lives who they know have erred. She also spoke about how we should take sides in such situations and stated, " We shouldn't be quiet because we fear hurting someone,"

She also urged people to stop making sexist jokes. and stated that a solution to tackle sexual harassment cases is to "empower and hire more women".
