husband Sahil Sangha. Actress-producer Dia Mirza says she and her husband Sahil Sangha will ensure that their production company Born Free Entertainm­ent will encourage women to speak up about any issues they have.

“It’s important that individual­s are finding courage to speak up. And [it’s] even more important that the media approach this with sensitivit­y, care and due investigat­ion,” Mirza tweeted. “Harassment of any kind at a workplace or anywhere else is absolutely unacceptab­le. We all want to live and work within an ecosystem that is safe and fair for all. I hope that the strictest action is taken against anyone found guilty of violating this fundamenta­l right. It is important that cases be registered and due investigat­ion conducted. Media must report facts,” she added.

Mirza extended support to the #MeToo movement that has gained momentum in India after actress Tanushree Dutta accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of misconduct.
