Taapsee Pannu says the reason why female actors have not called out sexual abusers in Hindi film industry is because they fear being judged and shamed.

The #MeToo campaign, which sparked off a movement in Hollywood late last year, is yet to arrive in Bollywood.

There are only a handful of Bollywood stars who have spoken about sexual harassment prevalent in the industry, without taking any names.

Taapsee says "fortunately or unfortunately" she did not face any sexual harassment, otherwise she would've "probably helped voicing it."
