My #MeToo has singer Kailesh Kher & model Zulfi Syed, from when I was a newly appointed young woman photographer at Hindustan Times in Bombay, 2006.
Tweeting this thread for all to draw strength & speak out

I was sent with my colleague, a woman journalist, to take pictures of Kailesh Kher at his home for an interview. During the interview, this creep sat between us as close to us as he could. He also kept putting his hands on our thighs (on the skin above our skirts)— Natasha Hemrajani (@radiantbear) October 6, 2018

We were appalled & left as soon as possible. I discussed with my colleague the idea of writing the interview from the point of view of unwelcome sexual molestation but she said the paper would never publish it because it would be libel (even if we were both witnesses)— Natasha Hemrajani (@radiantbear) October 6, 2018

I’ve let a number of friends and colleagues know about this incident with Kailesh Kher and the main reaction is always a shaking of the head, and ‘this happens, as a woman you’ve got to look after your own self’ logic / expression.— Natasha Hemrajani (@radiantbear) October 6, 2018
With so many accusations coming to light it finally seems like the MeeToo movement has arrived in the country.
