Actress Urvashi recently expressed her concerns after hearing about the shocking revelations in the Justice Hema Committee Report, which highlighted sexual harassment issues within the entertainment industry. Urvashi, who was a leading actress in her time, said that while she never personally faced such issues, she recognizes that many women, especially those without strong backgrounds in the industry, might be at risk of such harassment.
Urvashi's Statement: "I was shocked when I heard about the Justice Hema Committee Report. Many women, like me, work in the industry for their livelihood. It's frightening to realize that we might be working among such people. Personally, I never faced such situations, even when I was a star heroine. My parents were always vigilant about my surroundings. However, girls who enter the industry without any background are more vulnerable to such harassment. This is not limited to the film industry; it happens in all industries. Actors and actresses need to work together in a safe environment to create good cinema. These issues should not be repeated. The government should immediately address these concerns and take necessary precautions to protect women."
Background on Urvashi: Urvashi was a popular star who acted in numerous films across Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam industries. After her stint as a leading lady, she transitioned to supporting roles and continues to be busy with several projects in the South Indian film industry.
