‘Sexual harassment does not happen in the TV industry’

After these incidents came to light, actors from various industries in India are speaking out. In this situation, the popular actress of Hindi TV serial Kamya spoke differently about the Punjabi TV industry.

Kamya Punjabi told News18, ‘Television media is a very clean place. I don’t know what happened in the past. But now it is a very clean place. There is no dirt here. People here do not force or blackmail anyone. There is no casting couch here. If you are selected for the role, you are brilliant.’

If anything happens in the TV industry, it happens by mutual consent. Giving this information, Kamya Punjabi said, ‘I think television is the safest place in the entertainment industry. Sexual harassment does not occur here; If anything happens, it is by mutual consent. No one is asking to sleep with someone on the condition of giving them an opportunity to act.’

Some of the female co-stars have also complained to Kamya Punjabi about sexual harassment. Referring to this information, the actress said, ‘I know many people who have said that they were sexually assaulted. I repeat, if a girl doesn’t want it, it won’t happen. This does not happen in the television industry. But I don’t know about the film or the OTT.’

The Hema Committee report was published on August 19. The Hema Committee has revealed the facts of sexual harassment, casting couch, pay discrimination, exploitation in the Malayalam film industry. It has received allegations of sexual harassment against senior actors and producers.
