New Delhi, Oct 16 (UNI) Even as the upsurge in the ‘MeToo’ movement in the country has led to unraveling of charges of sexual harassment against prominent Bollywood personalities such as Subhash Ghai, Rajat Kapoor, Sajid Khan and actors such as Nana Patekar and Alok Nath, superstar Salman Khan’s father Salim Khan has come out in support of the movement.

In a post on twitter, Salim Khan, in an apparent response to the argument made by many detractors of the ‘MeToo’ movement that why accusers had in some cases waited many years to make their allegations public, said,’’the only defence they have is ‘Why so late ?’ It is better late than never. You don’t have to wait for the result, you have already won great public support.’’

‘’Aadmi pahad se gir kar khadda ho sakta hai…apni nazron se girkar nahin (a man can fall off a mountain and land on his feet, but he can’t if he lets himself down),” Salim said in the tweet.



The comments by Salim Khan come even as prominent Bollywood personalities such as Subhash Ghai, Rajat Kapoor, Sajid Khan and actors such as Nana Patekar and Alok Nath have faced allegations of sexual harassment from women in the industry following an upsurge in the ‘MeToo movement’ in the country.
