Jonita Gandhi Recalls Harrowing Cyberflash Incident: ‘D**k Pic With My Photo…'
Jonita Gandhi shared a deeply unsettling cyberflashing incident, and recalled that a person posted a picture of his genitals with her photo in the background.
Singer Jonita Gandhi recently opened up about a disturbing experience of cyberflashing on Instagram. She recalled that someone had once added her to their Close Friends story, and shared an explicit image of their genitals with her picture in the background. She said that it was 'disgusting' and that it clearly constituted harassment.
While speaking with Hauterrfly, Jonita Gandhi said, 'Some things are kind of traumatic. On Instagram, you can check your mentions, and I'd see that I'd been added to someone's Close Friends stories. Then I'm seeing it's a d**k pic. It has a watermark with their thing with my photo in the background. It's a new thing now. It's disgusting. It's harassment. But I keep ignoring such things." She further added, 'I don't check my DM. I only check my primary now. So I don't bother. I think they just want attention. People are just jobless. I block so many people."
In the same interview, the singer, who was raised in Canada, discussed her struggles with racism, body shaming, and internalized insecurities during her early years. Born in Delhi and growing up in Canada, Jonita shared the traumatic experiences she faced in school, where she was constantly bullied for her facial hair. She recounted being called 'Godzilla' by her classmates, noting that the hurtful comments mainly came from Punjabi boys. The bullying wasn't confined to her peers; even members of her own community made her feel like she didn't belong.
Since her Bollywood debut in playback singing with Chennai Express (2013), Jonita has lent her voice to some of Indian cinema's biggest hits, including The Breakup Song (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil), Gilehriyaan (Dangal), and What Jhuka (Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani).
