Bollywood actresses also become victims of public molestation many times. The name of Dangal fame actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is also included in this list. Fatima disclosed that incident in one of her interviews. She had said, I was on my way after the gym. A boy came and he was staring. So I said, what are you staring at? So he said, I will stare, my will. I replied - Will beat you. So he said, yes beat.
Thereafter, both of us had an argument and I slapped him and he punched me. Then I called my father and informed him about the incident. He reached there with two-three more people. You know how a father is and how his anger remains. That boy was running and my father, brother and his friends were running after him and were saying - Who touched my daughter.
In the same interview, Fatima also revealed that she has also been a victim of a casting couch. She said, of course, I have also been a victim of the casting couch. There were many such situations when I was asked for sex in lieu of work. I was also told that I would get the job only if I accepted the offer. There were many occasions when I had to lose jobs due to this. Also, there were occasions when I came to know that the role I was doing was replaced by someone else and I was replaced overnight because that girl was taken on someone else's reference. Let us tell you that apart from Dangal, Fatima has done many other films including Ludo, and Ajeeb Daastaans.
