Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on #MeToo movement: It gaining momentum is positive sign 

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was all praise for the women who are stepping forward with their abuse stories and are ready to fight for themselves. The former Miss World says that she looks at the #MeToo movement gaining momentum as a positive sign and she believes that talking on women empowerment should be a continuous process.

"I think it is a good sign how the #MeToo movement is gaining momentum. However, I would refrain to comment on any specific case as that would be irresponsible on our part. At least some of these cases would become sub judice soon. So, I don't think it would be proper to talk about any particular incident," Aishwarya told the media on Tuesday.

"Since the world is becoming a smaller space where social media is bringing people closer and anyone from any part of the world can share their story and find interested people to listen to them," said the mother of a six-year-old daughter.
