Geetika Tyagi says while she never said her alleged harasser Subhash Kapoor shouldn't get work, it pains her that nobody has spoken about her loss of livelihood in the five years she has been fighting her case in court

This feels strange," says Geetika Tyagi, referring to Aamir Khan's recent decision to come on board Mogul. Only 11 months ago — at a time when the #MeToo movement had taken India by storm — the superstar had stepped away from the project, when it was brought to his notice that director Subhash Kapoor had been accused of sexual abuse by Tyagi in 2014. However, on Monday evening, the actor reversed his decision, stating that he is doing "what my heart says is right".
It won't be wrong to say that despite his best intentions, the association of Khan — one of the biggest superstars of Bollywood — with a #MeToo accused serves as a blowback to the movement. "I had commended Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan [last year] because it gave hope to more women to speak up about their own stories. But I had never asked for it from them. Now that Subhash has been hired back, it's not like someone [from their end] reached out to me. It would have been a fair game had they considered both sides of the story," reasons Tyagi, who had, in 2014, uploaded a video that corroborated her claims and saw Kapoor apologising to her for his actions.
