Criticising those in the "position of power" for staying mum amidst the ongoing wave of dissent owing to sexual harassment, former tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi has stated that he will no longer be party to silence.

The athlete took to micro-blogging site Twitter to reveal that his actor-wife Lara Dutta had turned down an offer from an international digital platform due to its association with casting director Mukesh Chhabra also accused of sexual misconduct, as published first in mid-day.
