‘Though I looked back, I couldn’t understand…’- Bhumi Pednekar opens up about being harassed at the age of 14

Bhumi Pednekar is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood right now known for some great roles in her career. She first came onto the scene in the social comedy film called ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ in which she starred opposite Ayushman Khurrana. Along with this, she is known to play a lot of roles where she has shown her versatility as a performer. She was last seen in the romantic comedy called ‘ Thank you for coming ‘ which was released last year. There is no doubt that her filmography shows how talented she is as an actress and why she is highly regarded in the industry.

The life of Bollywood actresses has also been tough even for outsiders like Bhumi Pednekar herself, who was born in a political family as well. Even though these actresses are known to express their beauty and talent on the screen since it’s their job there are still some people who treat them like objects. There have been a lot of problems faced by not only actresses but women as well, who have been victims of being harassed in public. These are issues that are more serious than you think where the women face a lot of trouble physically and mentally.

Bhumi opens up about her past

It takes a lot of courage to talk about instances like this since some people never want to talk about these incidents even with their close ones. However, Bhumi opens up about an incident she faced in her teenage days in an interview saying that she was groped at a fair in Bandra at the age of 14 and that was one of the worst moments of her life. What was even shocking and disappointing to hear is that she didn’t even know who was the person who was inappropriately touching her saying “Though I looked back, I couldn’t understand who did it because it was very crowded. Somebody tried touching me inappropriately again and again and I was getting paranoid.”

This is a big step taken by the talented actress who not only took a stand for herself by publicly addressing the issue but also for women all around the world who have been going through these issues as well. This is a very serious topic that needs to be discussed at least with your close friends and family who can help you fight through these problems. The big step taken by one of the famous female public figures should not be wasted and there is a huge lesson that has been taught to not only the women of this country but also every human being living on the planet.
