Dreadful that instead of perpetrators, girls have to feel ashamed: Shah on Kathua and Unnao rape cases

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah today said it's is a "strange an dreadful" situation the society is going through where instead of the perpetrators, the girls are made to feel embarrassed.

The actor was asked his opinion about the Kathua and Unnao rape cases which have generated nation-wide outrage.

The actor said "such horrors have always been happening" but they are being reported more now "which is a good thing."
"There was a wonderful thing I read in paper yesterday where a young rape survivor said 'why should we hide our faces and names, it's the people who commit these crimes should be hiding their faces.'
"It's a good thing that the media is alert towards all of this happening now. It is very depressing for me every morning because every time you open the newspaper, something or the other horrifies you. But it's important these things are talked about."
