Actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor made her acting debut in the Netflix film Guilty, which highlighted the #MeToo movement. She feels it is unfortunate that we need films like Guilty to restart the conversation about sexual harassment.
"It's unfortunate that we need films like this for people to restart the conversation, but that was our aim. People have a very short attention span. But this (sexual harassment) has been happening forever and I feel that #MeToo is here to stay," said Akansha. In "Guilty", Kiara Advani essays the role of a girl whose boyfriend, a darling of the college, is accused of rape by a smalltown girl who is not quite the popular one in the campus. The film explores different versions of what might have happened before the truth is laid bare. Akansha plays the smalltown girl Tanu Kumar from Dhanbad, who is at the centre of all the drama. Asked if she expected a positive response for her first film, Akansha said: "I have dreamt of it my whole life. Before shooting for it, I would think, 'I am going to do my first film and I am going to get this kind of response', so it's a dream come true moment for me."
