âœWe have normalized assault for so many yearsâ â“ Fatima Sana Shaikh
Fatima Sana Shaikh stepped into the world of cinema with Dangal. The actress made quite an impact with her debut performance alongside Aamir Khan. She has been accepted with open arms by the audience and has some interesting projects lined up too. However, with the wave of MeToo taking over the world of glamour, a lot of stars came out and revealed the ugly side of this world. But, Fatima believes that it is okay for people to not talk about it and she is one of them. Though the actress accepts that she has been through it too, she chooses to be silent about it in public and requests people to not judge her for the same. Talking about it during a recent interview with a leading daily, she said, “I don’t want to expose that side of my life… I’m dealing with it, speaking to people I’m close to. Just like I won’t judge those who want to share their horror stories, I expect not to be judged for not sharing mine.”
She further added that because of this movement a lot of people have become more conscious about their actions, which is a major improvement. She said, “ Now sexual predators are scared of being shamed in public and shunned by the industry. For so many years we had normalised assault to such an extent that women had come to accept abuse as something that was normal."
