The latest season of Salman Khan‘s reality show Bigg Boss 16 premiered last week on the weekend. From Tina Dutta to Shalin Bhanot, several celebrities have entered the house to try to co-exist in the coming weeks amid surviving pranks and winning tasks. Amidst all the buzz inside and outside the house, actress Mandana Karimi has announced that she has quit Bollywood.
The Iranian actress, who was seen in ventures like Bhaag Johnny, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 and recently Kangana Ranaut’s show Lock Upp, revealed that she quit the Hindi film industry after filmmaker Sajid Khan wrapped Bigg Boss 16. Mandana is reportedly one of the nine actresses who accused Sajid Khan in the Me Too movement.
In an interview, Mandana Karimi said that she is “not surprised” to see Sajid Khan back on screen. ”For people, life has become like putting my head in the sand. If it’s going to benefit me and I can make money, then who cares?” She also talked about how the Me Too movement has barely made a dent in India or other countries.
Mandana also scathingly called out the lack of action from the industry following the Me Too movement, asking, “What is the action? Who is boycotting these people?” She continued: ”Nothing is going to happen. Because we’re talking about the bigger industry, which is where someone is someone’s mom, boyfriend, girlfriend, or husband. It’s like you scratch my back and I’ll scratch your back.”
The 34-year-old has announced that she will no longer work in Bollywood and has not attended any auditions for the past few months. ”I don’t want to work in Bollywood. I don’t want to be involved in an industry where there is no respect for women,” said Mandana Karimi.
