Daisy Shah recalls being touched badly by men
Recently, in an interview with Hautterrfly, Daisy Shah opened up about feeling harassed in her own hometown. The Race 3 actress grew up in Dombivli and she recalled an incident of a guy, who touched her inappropriately in daylight, but she couldn’t react seeing the crowd. In her words:
“I’ve had instances in Dombivli when I’m just walking on the footpath and a person just walked past me and he literally touched me very badly. And by the time I turned around I couldn’t understand who the person was because the area was crowded.”
She continued by saying that even though she couldn’t react the first time because of the chaos, she mentioned that the second time when she faced something similar in Jaipur, she did not stay quiet, rather she started hitting people. She recalled that years later, while shooting a song in Jaipur, there was a lot of crowd, so after the pack up, when people rushed towards her, one of them touched her back and she got so angry that she just started hitting everyone. She explained:
“When they announced pack-up, everyone started rushing through that gate, and in that crowd, somebody touched me on the back. I did not see left or right, I just started hitting people behind me. Whoever I saw, I hit because I was very angry.”
While explaining the entire experience Daisy had in Jaipur, she recalled that after everything a local man came up to her, threatened her and tried to teach her a lesson. In the same interview, she expressed her frustration and shared that the reason she hit the person is only because he was not talking properly as she was a girl. She said:
“After we all came out, a local person threatened me to teach a lesson, and I was like, yes show me. The reason why I hit the person was because the man was not talking properly, and he was doing that because I was a girl. Come face me bravely, why are you taking shelter in a crowd like a coward. Show me your face and then dare to do anything.”
