The 30- year-old actor Kangana Ranaut refrained from directly commenting on filmmaker Vikas Bahl, who is accused of sexual harassment, but said women should be encouraged to speak up about such issues. There were reports that Bahl allegedly harassed a female worker of his production house Phantom Films, who then brought the issue to the company’s notice.

Ranaut, who has worked with him in the blockbuster Queen, said it is a serious issue which requires discussion. “I can only say that whoever faces a situation like this, it’s very courageous of a woman to come out and speak about it. I say this not regarding to this particular event, because I am not the party involved. But generally speaking, women who face this should be encouraged to talk about it by their families, colleagues and they shouldn’t be shamed,” said Ranaut.
