Telugu actor Nani recently opened up about his concerns regarding the alarming findings of the Justice Hema Committee report, which detailed widespread sexual harassment and appalling working conditions for women in the Malayalam film industry. Speaking in an interview with NDTV, Nani expressed his unease over the state of women’s safety in the country, stating that the continuous news of exploitation and abuse weighs heavily on his mind. “This has been bothering me since the Nirbhaya case,” Nani shared, referring to the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder case that shocked the nation.
“It never stops. It continuously keeps disturbing us. I am actually scared to scroll through Twitter.
.. suddenly some visuals or news can pop up, and it can disturb me for the rest of the day.
” Nani's unease isn’t just tied to his status as an actor; it’s also deeply personal. He shared how his love for interacting with children has amplified his worries about the current environment. “I love kids, I meet kids and I interact with them a lot more.
I have spoken to a lot of five and seven-year-olds in this generation...
somehow this generation is extra smart...
I feel the better (future) is coming. I believe the situation will be better than it is today. They will be much better than us,” he said optimistically.
