Publicity stunt
Earlier, Asrani, Shilpa Shinde called #MeToo a publicity gimmick
Not just Sussanne, veteran actor Asrani and 'Bigg Boss 11' winner Shilpa Shinde had also echoed similar thoughts. Asrani said the accusations were part of a promotional strategy and one shouldn't take the campaign seriously. Meanwhile, Shilpa also rubbished the movement saying there is no such thing called rape in the industry as everything happens consensually. If only they understood what #MeToo stood for.
