“It’s rare that you’re a part of a historical moment,” says Rasika Duggal from Cannes, where she was part of the #MeToo protest, led by Cate Blanchett, that took place on Saturday night. Blanchett, who is presiding the jury this year, led the all-women team in a protest to fight for equal pay and demand an end to sexual harassment.

Duggal says, “It was an emotional experience walking in solidarity with 82 women. The unspoken understanding of the challenges we have all had to face to be here, was so powerful. It was my first time at the Palais de Festivals and I shared that moment with Salma Hayek, Nandita Das and so many other women. I couldn’t have asked for more.”

Since the day of its release, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ has been smashing records and the fact that it has already entered the Rs. 100 crore club further crowns this movie as the king of box office for this year. The unusual yet quirky concept was welcomed with open arms by the audience and hopefully struck the right chord with people, although his wife Twinkle Khanna’s recent post shows a different story. Having said that, although we don’t know how much of an impact the movie managed to have on humans, doggos seem to be super impressed by the movie, so much so that they have unleashed the ultimate level of toilet training.

Recently, Akshay Kumar posted this tweet where a dog not only peed in the commode but also flushed it after finishing his business. While we can’t take our eyes off this adorably smart dog, we also can’t stop thinking about his owner who trained him to such perfection. In fact, Twitter too echoed similar sentiments, but in their own sarcastic and hilarious way.

While the nation is going gaga over this movie, Hollywood isn’t far behind in admiring about this hilarious toilet training session. Earlier, actress Salma Hayek praised Akshay Kumar’s efforts and wished him luck for the movie.

Good luck to @akshaykumar on @ToiletTheFilm out today! End #OpenDefecation now! No woman should fear going to the toilet! #ToiletEkPremKatha

This time around it was Hollywood’s heartthrob Matt Damon who lauded this film that talks about open defecation. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Damon said “It’s great to have stars like Akshay and films like ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ spotlighting the open defecation crisis, as it helps to drive more awareness of not only the issues but also what can be done to tackle this and create change.” In fact, Damon too has been actively addressing the issue of open defecation on a global level, through his non-profit organization Water.org.
