Newsroom, Oct 23: A prominent heroine of south India has exposed the other face of #MeToo crusaders who are targeting men in the name of upholding women’s dignity.

Multilingual actress Harshika Poonacha, who is also a famous name in Sandalwood, put up a long post online, where she lashed out at "so called activist actresses".

Below is the post that she has shared online...

"Hello all , i have been watching all the developments of the so called #metoo movement. Being a strong woman myself and seeing our film industry from close quarters i totally agree that nobody should disrecpect women ,objectify them or force them to do anything against their will but iam truly disgusted to see how few actresses are using their feminity as a tool for pure publicity. Publicity is good ! But at the cost of what ?? Breaking a persons family ? Shaming his wife and kids ? Trying to ruin a persons career they have created with a struggle of over 15 -20 years with just 1 statement ?? Let me put it straight here !!

I have been in this industry for nearly 10 years and i have seen everything personally with my own eyes.. Most of these so called activist actresses do everything when they badly need what they want in the initial stages of thier careers (get cast in good films , make money, network , travel, luxurious life etc) by giving all the freedom to these men who they now accuse for their own selfish needs of publicity , they start targeting the same men who they were smiling and walking hands in hands with ! I personally have seen these so called great activist actresses smoking ganja, having a great time in their song shoots in foriegn countries, falling on famous men (actors from other industries , producers , real estate barons etc at big award functions in Malaysia , Dubai, Singapore etc ) and doing things that i donot want to mention here. So at that moment it was fine to do what ever it needed for you to become a household name but now that you have gotten it you start making allegations on men who you have used for your personal success ??? Where was your me too feeling when it hapened 10,5,2 years back ?? Oh ! So at that phase it was ok but now you want to save all the women in the world from the clutches of these monster men?? Nonsense !! Utter nonsense !! I have a question for you!

Do you have the guts to name the A list superstars in each film industry ???

Why arent the superstar actresses of every industries not making any claims or allegations ??

1 of the famous producers who is close to me and a wellwisher was showing me a video of a few of these so called me too actresses happily smoking ganja lying down on a famous persons shoulder and talking about how they can spoil the names of a few people. In another video there is this famous actor who has shot a video himself of this famous actress half nude in the car where she is seen happily telling him "i should be there in your next film also ok"

This is not the way it should be! Correct ??

I being an actress myself have come across a few people who asked me for favours and i clearly gave it back very politely and made my priorities and values clear to them right then and there !! And now after 10 years iam very proud of myself that NOT 1 PERSON in any industry can point a finger at me because i have remained pure and clean and done work which were clean ! I might have missed out on many big projects with big superstars but iam a very happy person and i still have a wonderful relationship with people from all industries.

There might be a few people who oppose what i say today but thats the fact and it will remain so. I understand there are few men who are bad and might force women for favours to give them work but nobody will rape you or nobody will man handle you to do things you dont like!! You can always say a strong "NO" and walk out of whatever that you dont like !! A clap can happen only when 2 hands come together. So my request to all your activist actresses and generally to all women in industry is to #bereal. I think its high time men start the #wetoo movement because i know of so many who have been used by these actresses for their fame and name and then gotten ditched by thess actresses after they get what they want!

I was keeping quiet for so long thinking i should not talk against my fellow actresses but this is becoming a mockery of us other actresses and our industry which has given us bread and butter and made us what we are today !

Jai Karnataka"

Matured talk.. being a lady i also object this MeToo movment. When you lost popularity or face failure you start oppose the things with revenge and jealous. If you want to remain a good women or want to lead a respectful life then be prepared to have a family life rather going out. OR if you have courage or willing to go out then keep in mind that you will face traffic/obstacles on your way. So be prepared to drive carefully with traffic, humps,condemn road to reach your destination safely.

 

i agree there are some wicked people who wants to grab the opportunity in the name of help ect, but you use your brain to avoid such unwanted circumstances because end of the day you will be blamed and you will only get the uncurable hurts.

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Life is a journey that cannot be imagined without traveling but the prevailing COVID-19 situation has made the whole world come to a standstill.

This pandemic has not only limited the modes of transportation for people all across India but also forces them to look for safer, convenient, and comfortable travel options. Private charter services are thus seen as the best alternative.
This is the reason the demand for availing charter services has risen dramatically over the last couple of months and encouraged airlines to either start or expand their charter services business further.

Many airlines have revamped their business strategies keeping charter services in mind and entered into this optimist business segment recently.

Star Air, the aviation arm of Indian business conglomerate - Sanjay Ghodawat Group, has entered into the charter services business to fulfill private air travel requirements.

The group previously has an experience of over six years of running helicopter charter service operations successfully under Ghodawat Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

The airline, Star Air, with its world-class fleet of three Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft (50-seater), two helicopters - Airbus H130 (6-seater) and Airbus H135 (5-seater), has the capacity to fly one anywhere at any point in time as per one's convenience that too with great comfort, luxury and complete privacy.

Star Air is a known name in the Indian aviation industry that is recognized for its unmatched safety, comfort, and on-time performance records.

It was praised in the past for connecting the unconnected by commencing commercial flight services to many Tier-II and Tier-III cities in India that were not graced with airline services before.

And now, after gaining the trust of over 1,00,000 customers from all across India and serving countless prominent VIP's, it has launched its charter service business.

It holds a valid license for charter service business and operates as per the protocols defined by the DGCA. The company has a team of experienced pilots, technicians, and staff that assures one gets a best-in-class charter service with complete safety and without any hassles.

"We are delighted to expand our airline operations by opening this private charter services. Like our scheduled commercial airline services, we are offering a world-class charter service keeping your comfort, safety, and overall flying experience in mind, said Sanjay Ghodawat, Chairman - Star Air.

This company had started its operations in January 2019 to connect the unconnected by providing world-class flight services at an affordable cost.

Since then it is continuing on its endeavour and gaining immense trust nationwide. It provides services to many Indian cities like Bengaluru, Belagavi, Indore, Kalaburagi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Ajmer (Kishangarh).
