This was a judgment that women across the world waited for. Former Hollywood mogul, 67-seven year old Harvey Weinstein was finally convicted of rape in New York and faces up to 25 years in prison. Bollywood reacts.

Finally! Better late than never! I hope it sets the precedent and more such offenders are held accountable. As for the #MeToo offenders in Bollywood, I am the wrong person to answer that. Only the ones in authority can. But I can only hope and wish it happens as soon as possible.

I’d say it’s a victory for the victims and kudos to the judicial system that brought Weinstein to justice. The stories of several victims, who were shamed, stand vindicated. Also kudos to the journalists who verified their facts before publishing it.

Great move on part of the United States judiciary to bring a notorious perpetrator to justice in a landmark verdict. Just proves that when it comes to safety of women India needs to catch up with the US on speedy justice. While Nirbhaya case of 2012 still awaits justice from her grave, Harvey Weinstein has got his comeuppance in the most powerful way. I applaud the US department of justice for this victory against sexual misconduct. A new era is dawning where karma will come and bite you sooner than expected .Heaven and hell are right here on earth!! Choose your actions wisely, folks.

Chalo at least one devil got his due, in India #MeToo seems to have been long forgotten.
