Unlike in the olden days when heroines were scared of speaking about casting couch and other troubling issues, current generation heroines are coming forward to share their shocking ordeals.
In a shocker dazzling beauty Deepika Padukone who recently mesmerised all with her powerful performance as Queen Padmavati in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat revealed that she was molested in her teens.
Recollecting her experience she said, “I was 14 or 15. I remember one evening my family and I were walking down the street. We had probably finished eating at a restaurant. My sister and my father walked ahead and my mother and I were walking behind. And this man brushed past me. I could have, at that point, ignored, pretended like it didn’t happen. I turned back, followed this person, caught him by the collar – I was 14 – in the middle of the street slapped him and walked away.”
She said this incident gave her parents the confidence that she could take care of herself.
