In 2018, she joined in the protest initiated by Sri Reddy against sexual exploitation in the Telugu film industry and resigned from her post in Movie Artistes Association (MAA) in protest.[9] These protests were compared to the Me Too movement and led to the involvement of the National Human Rights Commission of India in the issue. Protests were successful in the set of required framework as demanded.
Activism[edit]
In 2018, Apoorva actively participated in the protests with Telugu actress Sri Reddy Mallidi on the issue of sexual exploitation in Tollywood that was alleged to be happening on an a very large scale. The film body Movie Artistes Association (MAA) had banned Sri Reddy for the protest.[10]
In response to the way MAA banned Sri Reddy, Apoorva withdrew from the membership of the MAA in protest. In a press conference Apoorva encouraged the leading actors of the film industry to come out in support of women like they are portrayed fighting for women in the movies. The silence from the movie industry on the issue of the casting couch was also slammed by several actors.[11][12]She also stated that lead heros also misbehaved with her on the sets while shooting fun kind of romance by taking it as an advantage.[13]
the National Human Rights Commission of India sent notices to I&B ministry of the Telangana government over Sri Reddy's protest.[14]
Finally, after the protests, MAA agreed to set up a "Committee Against Sexual Harassment" as demanded by the protestors and also revoked the ban it placed on actress Sri Reddy.[11][15] So she supported telangana leaders kcr and ktr in their 2019 elections for campaign.[16]
