Randeep Hooda Made The Most Sensible Comments On Workplace Harassment And It's A Must-Read!

Workplace harassment is hot-topic right now and thanks to that one viral blog where an ex-co-worker accused TVF founder Arunabh Kumar of workplace harassment. That blog paved the way for other women to come out and talk about workplace harassment and their bitter experiences.

This series of controversies and workplace harassment inspired MTV Show Big F season 2 to base their episode and spread awareness on the same. Talking about workplace harassment and why it’s important for women to come out and be more vocal about it, Randeep Hooda was quoted in a report saying,

“It surprises me how in today’s day and age, women fall prey to sexual harassment at the work place. Being in a position of power does not give men the authority to prey on someone for their own pleasure. Ditto, the women. Women who feel violated should definitely stand up for themselves without worrying about the consequences of voicing their concern. Only a woman can help herself and men should be warned that now, with this being discussed openly, they can no longer get away with it.”

He also explained why gender and position should never be taken into the picture while dealing with such issues. He added,

“It’s a double-edged sword and can also be misused for a vindictive purpose, so clear guidelines should be put forth to everyone in the organisation about what constitutes objectionable behaviour at the work place and whom to contact if someone steps over the line. Your being right or wrong should not be based on gender and position. It varies from individual to individual and from case to case.”

At the end, host Randeep Hooda gave a valuable piece of advice to everyone. He said,

“If you don’t talk, it will only encourage the perpetrator. If someone is harassing you, bring it up with the management instead of feeling helpless and victimised.”
