Actor Ali Fazal stands by his fiancee Richa Chaddha who sent the legal notice to Payal Ghosh who dragged Anurag Kashyap name in #MeToo. Ali sup – ported Richa openly and slammed those who were criticising her. Ali’s full post for Richa on Instagram:
My love, you, who has stood up for women time and time again, today had to go through this ordeal. And yet, you come out strong as ever. My partner, your resilience, your kindness, and empathy have touched many people, and I have had the fortune of being witness to that over the time I’ve known you. The battles you’ve fought to create an equal society which isn’t fractured by hate. And within that to be able to champion women all along … and keep your art at par with the best, takes courage and nerves of steel. I am so proud of you because I know you won’t stop standing up for those in need, especially women who’ve lost their voices within the many patriarchal setups we face today the world over.
I believe every voice must be heard. I believe in dissent. But I also believe in the power of truth and justice. They indeed prevail. I believe in using our right to speak up but with utmost responsibility. I believe that we as a society need to empower our women so that their fearless voices echo in all its glory and yet with care and gentleness. I say this today, not because you’re my partner but because people like you make the world a better place and we need you. Love you. With you always.
