Lucky, My name didn't come out in #MeToo Movement: BJP leader

Mumbai, Feb 07: Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha said behind a successful man's fall is a woman. However, he clarified that he is not making fun of the #MeToo movement and his comments should be taken in the right humour.

"Today is the time of #MeToo, and there shouldn't be any shame or hesitation to say that behind a successful man's fall is a woman. Behind the troubles and notoriety of successful men, there have been mostly women that I've seen in this movement," the BJP leader said at an event.

"I really call myself fortunate that in today's times, my name hasn't come out in the #MeToo movement. Hence, I listen to my wife and often take her as a safeguard with me so that even if there's nothing, I can show that I am happily married, my life is good," he added.

"Even if anyone wants to say anything about me, please don't say," he added.

The #MeToo movement hit Bollywood last year and saw several women coming out with their stories of sexual harassment and rape by actors and filmmakers from the industry.

"Don't take it otherwise. Please take it with a plain sense of humour. I highly appreciate and applaud the women, who, better late than never, have come forward... I salute their courage and guts," Sinha added.
