Double standards run deep in the veins of showbiz. Be it name-calling, mudslinging or a blame game of the filthiest order, Bollywood never ceases to grab headlines and how!

In case you haven’t noticed already, it is a different ball game altogether when sexism shows up, broadening the gender gap. Like that wasn’t bad enough, casting couch and its likes (cue: sexual molestation/harassment) cripples the industry from within. But thank God we still have a few brave hearts left. I’ll tell you why.

In a recent incident, dancer-actress Scarlett Wilson, who was last seen in S. S. Rajmouli’s magnum-opus ‘Baahubali: The Begining’ slapped an actor identified as Umakant Rai on the sets of her forthcoming movie when he tried to misbehave with her.

Scarlett Wilson, who will be seen in Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Gold’ hit the creep on the sets of ‘Hansa Ek Sanyog’.

 

According to News Nation, the actor was making lewd gestures at Scarlett while they were shooting an item song.

But Scarlett lost her cool and thrashed him when he tried to touch her hair.

Needless to say, the actress then stormed out of the sets and the shooting came to a screeching halt.

Reports suggest that the crew members confirmed the incident, and revealed that the bold actress showed no inhibitions in slapping Rai.  In fact, film’s producer, Suresh Sharma, is looking at filing the complaint with the Film Federation of India for an apology, which if not fulfilled can cancel the actor’s license.

 

Watch the entire fiasco here. 

While we are sure this, unfortunately, won’t be the last time we hear about such instances, we can only hope that Scarlett is met with justice.
