What Riya Sen Did To Ragini MMS Co-Star Is Sexual Harassment..
Amidst of all the worldly problems we humans try to fend off, sexual harassment is a seriously messed up problem constantly haunting us. While women are the main victims of the crime, it would be ignorant to assume that men don’t face the brunt of it.
At times, people desensitise or rather don’t empathise a man’s molestation charge or allegations of an assault he places on a woman. Sometimes they don’t even take sexual harassment charges seriously or laugh it off. Like, Riya Sen’s co-star from the web-series, Ragini MMS Returns.
Recently, a sex clip from the web-series surfaced on the web. While people are doubting it as a publicity gimmick on part of the makers, Nishant Malkani spoke about shooting sex scenes with Riya Sen.
“So I remember the other day when we were shooting for this love making scene, Riya suddenly got so happy and suggested I should pull down my pants and flaunt my butt cheek just like how John Abraham did in Dostana 2. I didn’t take her seriously until she literally pulled down my pants while we were shooting the scene and exposed my butt cheek. I was like whattt?? At least you could have told me before doing it and she was like oh don’t worry, people seeing your butt cheeks are going to love you. Trust me all the women are going to love you…you have a great body and this and that I couldn’t go beyond “Riya kya kar rahi hai yaar, bata toh deti?”
He continued to call it funny -
“I don’t know if that’s (the scene) there in the film or no ya but it’s a very funny thing that happened. But I hope her words come true. Like whole world talking about me and my butt (laughs).”
If you are finding it funny, then might we suggest to read it again? We think what Riya did to Nishant counts as sexual harassment and objectification. She pulled down his pants without his permission, and then objectified his butt claiming women would love to see it.
The guy, who is a newbie in the industry, says he didn’t mind it but at least she could’ve told him before doing so. So there’s was a breach of consent, clearly. And, in his own words, he couldn’t go beyond, “Riya kya kar rahi hai yaar, bata toh deti?”
People fail to acknowledge that men too fall victim to harassment and objectification. But in most cases, they don’t even know that what they’ve faced qualifies as harassment. Things like these can’t be taken so lightly and there should be awareness about men’s sexual harassment.
