The 102-Not-Out actor recently celebrated his 74th birthday on October 11. On the occasion of his birthday, he shared his take on the recent Me Too movement that has struck India.

“No woman should ever be subjected to any kind of misbehaviour, or disorderly conduct ;especially at her work place. Such acts should immediately be brought to the notice of concerned authorities, and corrective measures be taken, either through filing complaints or a recourse to law," he commented.

"Discipline and civic, social and moral curriculums, should be adopted at a very early educational level. Women children and the weaker sections of our society are the most vulnerable. They need to be under special protective care," added Bachchan.

"It has been most heartening to see women representations in most work vocations, on the increase in our country. It would be an unrepairable blemish if we are not able to provide them the welcome they deserve and the dignity of the security of their presence," concluded the Bollywood megastar.
