Actor Amruta Subhash on losing confidence for being rejected over skin colour
Actor Amruta Subhash recently recalled how she once faced colourism in school, which made her believe that she 'wasn't beautiful.' She recalled a dance teacher in her school rejected her from the dance group over not having 'light skin and light eyes.' Amruta admitted that during her initial struggle in her acting career, she used to believe that 'only fair women will become actors.'advertisementThe actor opened up about the colour bias she faced in her high-school days and even asked her mother to make her beautiful so that she could appear in a dance audition. The 'Lust Stories 2' actor, in an interview with Zoom, said, "We talk about women's empowerment, but many times, a woman only defames another woman. I always liked to dance. During my high school days, our dance teacher asked all the beautiful students to come tomorrow for a dance audition. I went to my mom and asked her to make me 'beautiful' to appear in a dance audition."While reflecting on how the dance teacher's remarks on her 'skin tone' made her insecure about herself, Amruta further said, "I asked her to see my dance. But she told me, 'You don't have light skin and light eyes. Hence, we can't take you in the dance group.' It took years for me to get over this insecurity."advertisement The actor also confessed that the discrimination she faced in high school also affected her morale during her acting journey. "When I was being rejected for films, I started believing that teacher who said that I wasn't beautiful. My confidence was so low, and I started believing that only fair women will become actors," she was last seen in 'Lust Stories 2'.

I was climbing stairs and maybe my top may have moved a bit, and I felt a hand around my waist. I suddenly jumped and I just looked at him and asked, 'What did you just do?' He had just brushed through it. Everybody was stunned because it was a big name. He said, 'Nothing, your top was…' I stopped him and said, 'it is none of your business. How dare you touch me here? You can't do it.' Everybody was like, 'Iska role gaya'.'

During that journey, I was playing cards with this little boy. When we went to sleep, I noticed a hand around me, I quickly held on to it and when I saw it, I realised it was the same boy. He ran to the train's basin and started to wash his face when I confronted him. He started to cry. Because he was a kid, I didn't want to shame him.' She added, 'There was this another producer who would often ask me to join him for drinks and dinner. One day, I decided to go see him while everybody else was waiting to see what I would do. I opened his room and kept the door open and asked him, 'Sir, you are my father's age, why are you speaking to me like this? What is your problem?' I kept looking into his eyes. He started to behave awkwardly.' Amruta said she lost many roles because she refused to sleep with people in exchange for wok. 'I didn't compromise', said Amruta.

‘How dare you touch me?': Gully Boy star Amruta Subhash exposes senior producer for inappropriate behavior
Bollywood actress Amruta Subhash, who has worked in Lust Stories 2, Gully Boy, Choked, and more, recently opened up on the shocking incidents of facing sexual harassment in the industry by some 'big' producers. She exposed a senior producer for inappropriate behavior. In a recent conversation with Zoom, Amruta Subhash recently opened up on the harrowing incident and shared that she was climbing stairs and her top lifted a bit. Soon, the producer of a play came from behind and held a hand near her waist. The actress turned around after feeling something around her waist and found out it was the producer. She questioned him about his behavior but got no serious answer from him as he just brushed it off. Amruta shared, 'Everybody was stunned because he was such a big name. He said, 'No no, your top just moved up,' and I said, 'It's none of your business! How dare you touch me there? You can't do that'." The Gully Boy actress further added that people there were sure that she will be thrown out from her role but she wasn't concerned about it. She continued slamming the producer and strongly made it clear that no one can touch her without her consent. Amruta Subhash revealed that the producer was very elder to her. Meanwhile, the Lust Stories 2 actress also opened up on another similar incident where a producer invited her for drinks at night. When she decided to confront the situation, she showed up unannounced at his room, catching him off guard. Amruta questioned his inappropriate behavior and reminded him of their age difference, expressing her discomfort. Her direct approach surprised him and made him uneasy. She added that she kept the door open for her safety and stood her ground, refusing to feel awkward or tolerate the daily harassment. The actress stated that after this confrontation, the situation improved. Amruta Subhash also has some advice for young girls to tackle such harrowing incidents. She revealed that looking straight into such men's eyes works as they get afraid to make eye contact. She shared that when women feel afraid, they notice and try to overpower them. But looking straight into their eyes makes them scared.

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." First Published:
