Actress Gauahar Khan, known for speaking her mind without fear, says if she ever faces sexual harassment she will be vocal about it.
Since Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sex scandal, actors have also shared their horror stories. While a few Indian celebrities have accepted the existence of the casting couch and harassment in Bollywood, they haven't named anybody.
Why? Is it because of fear of not getting work in the film industry?
"I have no idea. If I had experienced something like that, then I would be the first person to say that yes I have experienced something like that. I am going to say it. But I can't speak for the women who have or haven't, so I don't know what the situation is," Gauahar told IANS.
"When someone has to speak up, they will," added the model, who walked the ramp for TV channel Romedy Now's LOVE.LAUGH.LIVE collection in collaboration with designer Ken Ferns at the India Beach Fashion Week 2017.
On the film front, Gauahar was last seen in Vidya Balan-starrer "Begum Jaan".
