Ajay Devgn on #MeToo allegations: There is a difference between guilty and accused
Last year MeToo movement made a huge buzz and in this movement, we saw several big names came in the allegations. Even last few days, Ajay Devgn was also in the discussions for having Alok Nath in his film De De Pyaar De despite he was allegedly accused of raping a woman. At that time Ajay Devgn said that the film was shot before MeToo movement.
Recently, when Ajay Devgn was asked would he like to work with the people who have been allegedly accused of sexual harassment. Ajay Devgn said, "There’s a difference between ‘accused’ and ‘proven guilty’," he points out. "One must definitely not work with those proven guilty. But those who haven’t been… we can’t be unfair to them. What about their families? I know an ‘accused’, whose daughter was so traumatised, she stopped eating and going to school.”
However, Ajay Devgn during the MeToo movement tweeted, "I’m disturbed by all the happenings with regards to #MeToo. My company and I believe in providing women with utmost respect and safety. If anyone has wronged even a single woman, neither ADF nor I will stand for it."
