Mumtaj speaks about MeToo and casting couch

She extensively spoke about her experiences with predators, and how she dealt with it. When asked if she was ready to describe an encounter, she said: 

"I've been approached a couple of times. I've hit a director with a slipper. Another person told me, if sign me for outdoor, it will be boring. So I smiled back at them, and asked him to find someone he was comfortable shooting outdoor. Then I walked out.

Another person spoke differently, and I scolded him like anything. Thereafter, wherever he met me, he calls me Amma, and madam. He respects me so much. Now he knows not to cross boundaries. I stopped it then and there."
