Crime Against Women

When Actress Tillotama Shome Was Molested In Delhi

New Delhi: Women continue to be targets of sexual harassment in this country.

Actress Tillotama Shome recently shared a terrifying incident that she experienced in the national Capital.

Tillotama revealed that the incident took place during winter months in Delhi. She was waiting for a bus when a car then stopped near her, and a group of men began harassing her.

“Then they started catcalling. Somebody threw a small stone. I moved away a little bit. I was like, I have to go from here. Now either I run, but they can outrun me. So, I decided to stand in the middle of the road and hitch a ride,” she said during an interview with Hauterrfly.

Several cars passed by, but none of them stopped. Then a car with a medical sign pulled up and she got into the front seat with the stranger.

“I thought it might be safer (to board the car) since it was a doctor’s. I got in the car and sat in the front seat. But then, the driver unzipped his pants and tried to force my hand. My instinct kicked in, and I hit him. He had to stop the car because of what happened, and he asked me to get out. It was a terrifying experience, and I was shaken. But my instinct to fight back helped me get out of a dangerous situation,” said the versatile 45-year-old actress who recently featured in ‘Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper’ alongside Manav Kaul in the latest season of ‘Kota Factory’ alongside Jitendra Kumar.

The harrowing experience left a deep impact on her, more so as it happened on the streetsmof Delhi.
