When Sanya Malhotra Was Teased In Delhi Metro
After Aahana shed light on how a fan made her feel uncomfortable, Sanya Malhotra opened up about having a horrific encounter of sexual harassment in Delhi. In a recent interview, the Kathal actress shared how a bunch of boys teased and touched her in the Delhi metro while on her way back home. She said, “I was alone so I stayed quiet. It was such a situation when I couldn’t do anything. They started teasing and touching. I felt helpless but I knew if I will say anything, anything can happen. To my surprise, no one in the metro helped. I didn’t want to cry at that moment, I was fighting also. Then I got out of Rajiv Chowk and they all started following me. They were all tall, muscular men. Thank god for the crowd at that station, I rushed to the washroom and called my father. I asked him to come and pick me up. It was not a good day.”
When A 15-year-Old Misbehaved With Sushmita Sen
A few years back during a media interaction, Sushmita Sen recalled an unpleasant experience with a 15-year-old boy who tried to touch her. The Aarya actress shared, “Because there were so many men there, he thought I wouldn’t notice who did it. So I grabbed his hand and I was so shocked when I pulled him up that he was a little boy. For a misbehaviour like that, I could have taken lots of other actions but because it was a 15-year-old boy, I grabbed him by his neck… as if I was saying hello to him…I took him for a walk and said it on our way that if I make a hue and cry about this right now, your life will be over baccha. Aapko pata hai aapki zindagi kharab hojaegi?” After the kid in question promised Sush that he won’t do it again, she told him that even if he did, she has seen his face.
