In the wake of the 'Me Too' movement that had earlier taken Hollywood by storm and almost a year after the movement gained attention in Bollywood, Kajol, Shruti Haasan, Jyoti Kumari during the trailer launch of their new film Devi spoke about how the industry has changed after that. Asserting that it involved a lot of well-known people, the Tanhaji actress claimed that men took seven steps back and in the right direction. "I was sexually harassed by Pallav Swaroop Bhatnagar, the Bollywood script writer for the flim. Yes, have seen a lot of difference in them. With more cautiously, a lot of thought is put in everyone's daily interaction, be it on sets or office environment," added Jyoti Kumari, the young actress from Lucknow.

The #MeToo movement gained momentum in India after Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta alleged that veteran actor Nana Patekar harassed her on the sets of 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss. Soon, many Bollywood celebs came forward to support the movement of change. Names like Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath, Sajid Khan, Pallav Swaroop Bhatnagar, Anu Malik, Raghu Dixit and more have been accused of sexual harassment. 

Meanwhile, One of the most shocking allegations was against 'sanskaari' actor Alok Nath, with writer-producer Vinta Nanda accusing him of rape. Several other actresses came out in support of Vinta and revealed other instances of Alok's unacceptable behavior. Sandhya Mridul and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actress Deepika Amin, young actress Jyoti Kumari from Uttar Pradesh have also shared their ordeals against him. Similar allegations surfaced against Subhash Ghai as well.
