Happy birthday, you. Am so grateful you were my Neha – re: @baajithefilm – what a roller-coaster it’s been, eh? Here’s to all the backstage laughs and shenanigans, the intensity & dedication with which you portrayed your character, to you practically playing my shrink when I’d forget to detach from my role. Here’s to the beautiful friendship formed along the way. Thank you for letting me into your life. To all the happiness and success you so richly deserve, a toast. (The inscription is an inside joke.)

an Instagram user teased the star under the wish commenting, “Please be careful because after some time she would be accusing you of harassment because of #MeToo.”

To this, the TV star responded, “No she won’t because I conduct myself with dignity even among friends and don’t abuse my privilege. Harassment allegations are not this frivolous, nor #MeToo a movement to be taken lightly. If you don’t respect the women speaking out about the trauma they’ve endured, the least you can do is not reduce it to a reductive, inane comment. Peace.” The user has deleted her comment since.

Also, Osman replied to respond to other users who passed unnecessary comments.

The star also shared his views regarding the current #Metoo movement in a tweet:

Reading utter tone-deaf comments/statements regarding the #MeToo movement & feminism in general. Gender sensitivity training should be mandatory across all fields.
