Amruta Subhash on being sexually harassed: The National Award-winning actress revealed in a recent interview with Zoom that she had been a victim of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, not once but twice. While opening up she emphasised the importance of standing against these evil and torturous stakeholders, no matter how powerful they are. Amruta recalled, "There was a producer of a play. I was climbing some stairs, and maybe my top lifted slightly, I didn't even realise. I felt something - a hand near my waist. I turned around and he was a big producer.”

The actress said that she was shocked and instantly yelled, 'What did you just do? What was that?' And he just brushed it off saying, 'It’s nothing,' pretending as if nothing happened.” At this moment, Amruta didn't hesitate and retaliated by questioning the producer how dare he touch her. In his defence, he made a comment stating that her top got lifted. Without ignoring his casual behaviour, she confronted him by saying, “It's none of your business! How dare you touch me there? You can't do that.”

This incident sparked a buzz among people. She said that she used to hear remarks like ‘her roles will be gone’. But Amruta did not allow these comments to affect her at all. This inappropriate behaviour did not stop there. She shared another experience where a popular celebrity forced her to attend parties and drink with him every night. After being forced on a regular basis, the Marathi queen decided to confront the man face to face. "I banged the door open and entered. I knew people were watching. He was shocked. I looked into his eyes and said, 'Sir, you are my father's age. Why are you talking to me like this? What is your problem?”

Amruta also stated that she was calm yet confident enough to look directly into his eyes. “He started getting awkward. Of course, I left the door open, not just for his sake, but for my safety too. After that, things settled down," she narrated. During this chit-chat session, she also gave a helpful tip for women who might encounter such situations. She spoke,  "One thing I always do, I look straight into such men's eyes. These kinds of men are afraid of eye contact. That’s my tip for women. If you feel scared, they understand and try to overpower you. But if you look straight at them, just stare back, they get scared."
