Acclaimed actress Swara Bhaskar, known for her performances in movie like Dhanush's big Bollywood debut Raanjhana, Tanu Weds Manu series, Nil Batte Sanatta, Guzaarish and Anarkali ki Aaraah, said that it had taken more than 6 to 8 years for her to actually realize she was sexually harassed.

As per report Swara had opened up the topic during her speech in a discussion by a panel on Hollywood's Harvey Weinstein case, where the actress revealed being harassed by a director(whom she did not name) adding that only after months she realized it was a case of workplace harassment, though she escaped untouched by the predator.

Swara said that the awareness must increase and the current culture gives power and influence to such predators besides also not teaching the girl children on understanding that this is a predator's nature and behavior. Meanwhile she said this culture and the hostility prevailing in the society is what makes women avoid going for legal action.
