Nithya Menen had earlier said that she hasn’t faced sexual harassment during work. Commenting on the #MeToo Movement, the actor said, “I completely understand the thing that people are facing. I do everything possible to counter it. Just because I am not doing it one way, doesn’t mean that I am not countering those things or I am not against it. I am, but I have a different approach.”.

Nithya has also admitted that she has walked out of a film as someone in the project was accused of sexual misconduct. “I do it, but I do it silently. I have said ‘no’ to a film because of something like that.”
