Amruta Subhash Recalls Calling Out 'Big' Producer: 'How Dare You Touch Me There?'
Last Updated:
Amruta recalled one particular incident during her theatre days that left her shaken but not silenced.
Amruta Subhash is not someone who stays silent when lines are crossed. In an interview, the Gully Boy and Wonder Women star opened up about disturbing encounters with inappropriate behaviour including one with a 'big producer" and how she chose to face each of them with fearless confrontation.
Speaking to Zoom, Amruta recalled one particular incident during her theatre days that left her shaken but not silenced. 'There was a producer of a play. I was climbing some stairs, and maybe my top lifted slightly… I felt something — a hand near my waist. I turned around and he was a big producer," she said. What followed was a bold callout in front of everyone present. 'I just looked at him and said, 'What did you just do? What was that?'" Despite his attempts to brush it off, she didn't let it slide. 'I felt it. What was that?" she said. When he blamed her outfit, she retorted, 'It's none of your business! How dare you touch me there?"
The producer was 'very elderly" and well known, but Amruta didn't care about repercussions. 'Everybody was like, 'Her roles will be gone,' and I said, 'Let it go to hell.'"
That wasn't her only unsettling experience. On a train, a teenage boy tried to touch her inappropriately. Instead of shaming him, Amruta took a more instructive route, teaching him a lesson he's unlikely to forget.
In another episode, a senior filmmaker repeatedly harassed her with late-night drink invitations. She finally stormed into his room and confronted him head-on: 'Sir, you are my father's age. Why are you talking to me like this?" She made sure the door stayed open for her safety and delivered her message loud and clear.
'Look them in the eye. These kinds of men are afraid of eye contact," she said. 'If you look scared, they'll try to overpower you. But if you stare right back — they get scared."

Wamiqa Gabbi admits pay disparity exists in Bollywood: ‘Reasoning is that a male actor can pull more audience'
Actor Wamiqa Gabbi called out the pay gap in the film industry. In a new interview, she questioned why male actors' fees aren't scrutinised or reduced when their films flop, while women often bear the brunt of criticism and pay cuts. Also read: Here's how Shah Rukh Khan reacted when Wamiqa Gabbi told him 'nas kat lungi' at first meeting During a conversation with Zoom, Wamiqa spoke about the issue of pay disparity in the industry, saying women continue to be paid less than their male counterparts. 'The fact that pay disparity exists doesn't consume me, but there is this feeling that you're a woman and you will be paid less and that is how it is. The reasoning is that a male actor can pull that much audience, but you can't make a film without the heroine. I don't understand the logic behind this. Sometimes, they take a hero and pay a lot of money, and then the film doesn't work. Why doesn't their fees get affected?" Wamiqa said. And the actor is finding her own way to fight back against the pay gap. She added, 'I want to find different ways to earn that money. I wish to do it in a creative way where I feel happier and decrease that pay gap for myself. I can't deny this fact that pay disparity is there. Not every 'male-centric' film can do without the female lead." Wamiqa was recently seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf opposite Rajkummar Rao. The film also stars Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra and Ishtiyak Khan. It is produced by Dinesh Vijan under his banner Maddock Films. Bhool Chuk Maaf revolves around a soon-to-be-married man who realises that he is stuck in a time loop and keeps reliving the day before his wedding. Directed by Karan Sharma, the romantic comedy film was released on May 23. Next, she will be seen in Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling, Bhooth Bangla and Goodachari 2.
