  • Hrithik Roshan Says 'No Means No' Is Valid For Men Too
2017 witnessed Bollywood Superstar Hrithik Roshan giving air to a very significant dialogue from the movie PINK!, 'No means No'. 
 
The phrase 'No means No' which implies the importance of consent became a popular terminology courtesy in the Amitabh Bachchan starrer in 2016. 
 
The term was once again brought to the forum by Hrithik Roshan who posted this thought-provoking question to the society. He rightly asked if 'No means No' applies any gender bias. 
 
Hrithik Roshan while talking about it he shared, `The movie Pink inspired and affected me so much,` he said. `But it also got me thinking, why 'No means No' only applies to a woman?` 
 
When Hrithik raised this question and made such a powerful point a couple of months back, a lot of people, both men and women agreed with him. A lot of people also resonated with him. 
 
 
Hrithik Roshan while sharing his experience of cyberstalking and sexual harassment, shared instances of sustained non-consensual explicit intrusion online. 
 
The actor set a new precedent for Men as he opened up about his ordeal, thus paving way for a dialogue concerning males Let's remove this as its making it a male-female thing at large 
 
That one clip where he spoke about this was a major takeaway from one of his interviews 
 
Hrithik brought to the forefront the importance of consent regardless of the gender. 
 
Thanks to Hrithik Roshan, 2017 witnessed an onset of a healthy debate for the well being of the society. this is not sounding correct.
