Lucky my name hasn't come out on #MeToo despite the things I've done: Shatrughan Sinha
Mumbai, Feb 6 (IBNS): Actor-politician Shatrughan Singh today said he was lucky his name hadn't come out in the #MeToo movement despite the things he had done.
Speaking at a book launch, Sinha later clarified he had only meant it in good 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 infamy of successful men, there have been mostly women that I have seen in this movement,” reports quoted Sinha as saying.
“I really call myself fortunate that in today’s times, despite everything that I have done, my name hasn’t come out in the #MeToo movement. Hence, I listen to my wife and often take her as a shield with me so that even if there’s nothing, I can show, ‘I am happily married, my life is good.'”
Later, when asked whether he was mocking the #MeToo movement, the actor, said: “Don’t take it otherwise. Please take it with plain sense of humour. I highly appreciate, applaud the women who, better late than never, have come forward."
"I salute their courage and guts,” he said.
