Shah Rukh Khan shares his thoughts on the #MeToo movement and importance of respecting women 

Shah Rukh Khan is one Bollywood star who has been very vocal during

the #MeToo movement in Bollywood, encouraging everyone to

collectively bring a stop to sexual harassment. In the wake of the

movement against sexual predators in the industry,

SRK spoke his mind at

an event, saying that everyone “Should respect the emotion of the women

taking such a strong step in coming out, and being so brave, and help

stop this from happening in our individual industries. The sad part of it is

that you don’t know if it could be happening right under your nose."

The star, who had also once stated that “women are superior to men in

many levels” reiterated the same in an interview with

Indian Express when

asked for his advice to those navigating relationships between the sexes.

Insisting that “respect” was the key to it all, he said that at times his female

friends think he is too formal. He went on to reason that to him, respect meant equality and even admitting to his wife and

women friends that he is weak, because he genuinely loves them.

Opening up about the advice he imparted to his son, he said that he has taught his 21-year-old Aryan Khan the same lessons

on respect and has warned him that disrespecting people is not okay. He explained how knocking on the door before entering

and other such etiquettes are a must
