Sanya Malhotra was recently seen in Kathal.
Sanya Malhotra recalled the incident where she experienced harassment and inappropriate touching by a fan during a photo op.
Sanya Malhotra recently came forward to share some disturbing incidents of harassment in the past. In an interview with a media outlet, Sanya Malhotra revealed that a few years ago, a man approached her for a photograph and proceeded to touch her inappropriately. Surprisingly, no one came to his aid during the incident. She also recalled the time when she was traveling in Delhi Metro and a group of boys allegedly harassed her. This comes shortly after Aahana Kumra called out a fan who kept his arm around her waist while they were photographed together, highlighting the importance of respecting personal boundaries.
Speaking to Hotterfly, Sanya Malhotra said that she was once returning home from her college when she was “teased and touched” by a group of boys in the metro. “I was alone so I kept quiet. It was a situation when I could not do anything. They started teasing and touching. I was feeling helpless but I knew that if I say something, anything Maybe. People usually say, ‘Why not do something?’ But when that situation comes, hands are crossed. You just want to avoid that situation,” she said.
The actress said people often question why victims don’t act in such situations, but in reality fear takes over and survival becomes the priority. She said, “People usually say, ‘Kuch karna kyun nahi tumne? (Why didn’t you do something?)’. But when that situation comes, hands drop. You just want to avoid that situation. Are.
To his surprise, no one in the subway came to his aid. “Then I came out of Rajiv Chowk and they all started following me. They were all tall, muscular men. Thank God for the rush at that station, I went to the washroom and called my father. I asked him to come and pick me up,” she recalled.
She also shared an unpleasant experience when a man approached her for a picture and touched her inappropriately. Despite her expressing shock and dismay, photographers at the scene failed to intervene or offer help, according to her. Filled with rage, Sanya takes matters into her own hands, calling the man to account for his actions and exposing his failure to help the photographers.
Earlier, during a photo op at an event in Mumbai, a fan crossed limits, invading Aahana Kumra’s private space. But she refused to remain silent and immediately called out the inappropriate gesture by the fan. “Don’t touch me,” she said before leaving the spot.
Sanya Malhotra was recently seen in Kathal co-starring Vijay Raaz and Rajpal Yadav, while Aahana Kumra last appeared in Kajol starrer Salaam Venky.
