The gained momentum by the MeToo movement is proving to be more chaotic than ever. On one hand women are gaining courage to come up with their horrific incidents and on the other, there are some who are still blaming the victims. Recently in an interview with IANS, Mahesh Bhatt, one of the most celebrated directors of B-town, expressed his opinion about the entire movement. 

Mahesh Bhatt very clearly stated that the dichotomy in India is creating a mess of things and Indians are far from where they claim to be. He opined,"The #MeToo movement cannot be resolved through the court of public opinion. There are people standing up for something. I would say more power to women who scream from the rooftop about something wrong done to them -- whether it is after 10 years or 20 or 50... It doesn't make a difference."

He also thinks that women should handle this situation responsibly. MeToo is not just about settling the old relationships, it also about many other aspects. It also includes the domestic violence within the marriage or between lovers. He said,"The dichotomy is what has made a mess of things. We have an idea about ourselves and the reality is quite different from the idea. Look at what you are doing to women. There are issues which cannot be resolved themselves within a time frame of a week, a month or a year. These are larger issues. The soul of the country is decaying. We are far away from what we claim to be. And cases like this only put spotlight on that."

The day Tanushree Dutta came to the media with her plight for justice, something ignited. Women from all around the country started narrating their stories and Twitter got flooded with #MeToo. Just Like Mahesh Bhatt, we also think that the movement is much more than just sharing stories, it's about bringing a permanent change,
