Bollywood actor Poonam Dhillon on Wednesday voiced support for the #MeToo movement but cautioned against making generalisations and branding the entire film industry as "bad".

Dhillon, while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration of a multi-media exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi here, also said that to a great extent it "depends on how you conduct yourself".

Asked about Preity Zinta's remarks that Bollywood is "very safe" for women, Dhillon said she would not like to comment on Preity's statement as she has not read it.

However, talking about the #MeToo movement rocking the film industry she said: "We cannot generalise anything in life. We cannot say media people are like this, film people are like this, or doctors are like this."
Asked about the opening ceremony on the sidelines of the inauguration of a multi-media exhibition on Mahatma Gandhi, Ghai told reporters: "I will say what I saw yesterday, was very different from the previous functions."
