She had mentioned that because of cultural expectations and customs, women in India frequently confront formidable obstacles. She believed that the media's subsequent barrage of criticism was unjust and harsh as a result.
Sherawat also spoke about the part her female co-stars played in all of this chaos. She talked about how some of them made her feel bullied and were unsupportive. The actress had anticipated that women would show more unity, but she was discouraged by what she saw. Rather, her comments were misconstrued and turned against her, which caused her to feel alone in the field.
Sharing her old interview, Mallika wrote, “I still can’t forget this moment when I was attacked & bullied by a certain section of the Indian press for speaking out against gang rapes and sexual violence in India!! Some WOMEN in the press and some very big names Bollywood FEMALE ACTRESSES joined the chorus & publicly attacked me for speaking out against gang rapes & sexual violence.”
She further added, “This phenomenon highlights a troubling dynamic where instead of supporting someone who’s advocating for change, these women in influential positions are engaging to silence the voice of women like me! This behavior perpetuates a culture of silence & complicity that allows sexual violence to continue. It’s crucial for women, especially women in the public eye, to stand in solidarity & use their platforms to support rather than vilify those who speak out against such injustices.”
