Would name and shame sexual harassers in industry if guaranteed security: Richa Chadha on sexual harrassment

Mumbai: Actor Richa Chadha says while it is brave of people to accept that sexual harassment happens in Bollywood, one can not 'name and shame' as there is no guarantee of getting work post that.

Richa says she was attacked for a blog post regarding the sexual harassment situation 'even by feminists who asked why don't you name and shame?'

"If you give me pension for life, take care of my safety, my family, ensure I'll continue to get work in films and TV or whatever I want to do, my career will grow unabated as it is right now after I name and shame



somebody, sure I will.

The actor believes film industry lacks a proper ecosystem which would provide a safety net for victims.

"Every time someone speaks there are repercussions. Whoever is speaking out people are like 'oh you've to name and shame.' If the press knows who is doing this, why not let it out?

"Every time we take a step, there is a backlash. The ecosystem and the structure of the industry needs to change. We don't have royalties here for actors, in absence of proper legislations, who will take a risk?"
