The recent addition in this long list is Tamil heroine Varalaxmi Sarathkumar.
The wake-up call for the entire women community
In the wake of this incident, Varalaxmi has revealed an incident of sexual harassment faced by her some weeks back.
The actress took her official social media handle to reveal the disgusting behavior of a Tv channel programming head. The Kollywood beauty also added that choosing acting as a profession is a personal choice, and it does not mean that actresses are available.
In the end, the star also asked the entire women community to raise their voices against these kinds of sexual exploitations. As per Varalaxmi, its the time to act now, and the entire women community should try to remove the word 'rape' from our society. She also added that women should try to bring these kinds of sexual predators in front of the law.
