Actress Usha Reveals Misconduct Incident from 1992

Malayalam actress Usha has publicly recounted an incident from 1992 during which a senior actor misbehaved with her in an elevator while they were working on a project in Bahrain. At a press meet in Kannur, she detailed how she reacted by slapping the actor, which led to support from fellow actors Mohanlal and Sukumari. Despite their encouragement, Usha faced backlash after reporting the incident, being labeled 'arrogant' and subsequently sidelined in her career. She highlighted the ongoing relevance of her experience in light of the #MeToo movement within the Malayalam film industry. Usha's revelations align with recent allegations surfacing against various figures in the industry following the Justice Hema Committee report. She emphasized the importance of speaking out, stating that her intention in sharing the story now is to inform the public of the truths behind her experiences.
