BOLLYWOOD ACTRESS APOLOGISES

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta apologised on Tuesday over comments she made about India's #Metoo movement that sparked a furore on social media. Zinta was accused of belittling victims after saying she wished she had faced sexual harassment. “My reason for saying 'I wish something like this would have happened to me' in the film industry with a smile was because I would have reacted and slapped the person,” she said. Zinta said she was a “huge supporter of the movement”.
