Fatima Sana Shaikh recalls a harrowing experience of being assaulted and harassed: ‘I hit him because he touched me'
Fatima Sana Shaikh known for 'Dangal' and was recently seen in 'Metro…In Dino' started her career as a child artist. One clearly remembers her as the little girl in 'Chachi 420'. The actress who is loved on-screen is also appreciated for her honesty offscreen. She is often seen putting up her views about her experiences or opinions quite honestly. In a recent chat, she has opened up about two deeply disturbing experiences that shed light on the persistent reality of gender-based harassment. In a candid conversation with Hauterrfly, she shared how a violent assault changed the way she responds to inappropriate behavior in public—and why the emotional toll of such moments lingers long after. Recalling one particularly traumatic incident, Fatima described how she once confronted a man who touched her inappropriately. 'Once, a man had touched me inappropriately, and I hit him. But he hit me back so hard, that I was fully down," she recounted. 'I only hit him because he touched me, but that pissed him off and he hit me to the point that I fell." The shocking violence left a lasting impact on her. 'After that incident, I got a little more cautious. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giá vàng đang tăng mạnh trong năm 2025 — Các nhà giao dịch thông minh đã tham gia IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo I realised that we also have to check how to react in such situations," she said, adding poignantly, 'But look at the irony… something wrong is happening with us, and we only have to think how to react to it."

'During the COVID-19 lockdown, I was riding my bicycle in Mumbai wearing a mask, and there was this tempo driver who kept honking and making weird sounds at me. And till the time I didn't take a turn in my lane, he kept following me," she said. Commenting on the pervasive nature of such behavior, she didn't hold back: 'You only have to be a girl for it."

Paresh Rawal's wife Swaroop Sampat once called him 'dumb' as he didn't speak to her for nearly a year: ‘If I paid attention to anyone else..'
Paresh Rawal has long been a cherished name in Hindi cinema. With a career that has spanned decades, he has delighted audiences through his brilliant comic timing as well as strong antagonist roles. Whether it's the hilarious Baburao in 'Hera Pheri' or his unforgettable performances in films like 'Andaz Apna Apna', 'Chachi 420', 'Hungama', 'Garam Masala', 'Awara Paagal Deewana', 'Ready' or 'OMG', Paresh has carved out a versatile and respected place in Bollywood. But behind all the fame is a love story that is as sweet and funny as some of his best films. It's the story of how he fell in love with actress Swaroop Sampat – and didn't speak to her for nearly a year! Love at first sight – but no words The moment Paresh Rawal saw Swaroop Sampat for the first time, he knew she was the one. It happened at an Indian National Theatre festival where Swaroop was handing out brochures in a pink saree. Her father was the chief producer at the event. Paresh was there to perform with his college friends. Swaroop recalled the moment in an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble and shared, 'I was wearing a pink saree and I was handing out brochures. And Paresh walks in with his friend and he says, he is going to marry me. But you know he is so dumb, he didn't talk to me for nearly a year.' Yes, she called him 'dumb' for not talking to her for so long! Theatre and acting brought them closer Paresh and Swaroop both had a strong love for acting and theatre. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Irish homeowners eligible for solar 'bonus' if they live in these eircodes Activ8 Learn More Undo This common interest helped them get close once they finally started talking. Swaroop had always been a big fan of Paresh's work and admired his stage performances. In a past chat with The Free Press Journal, she said that Paresh was serious from the beginning. He made it clear that he wouldn't be in a relationship unless there were plans to get married. She said,'Even during our courtship days, Paresh was the possessive one. He would not like it if I paid attention to anyone else. But now, after many years of knowing each other, he is relatively chilled out.' A long wait before tying the knot Paresh and Swaroop's love story began in the 1970s, but they didn't get married until 1987. They dated for 12 years before finally tying the knot. The reason for this long wait was quite simple – Paresh wanted to focus on building his career before getting married. Swaroop, on the other hand, had her own clear views. She didn't want to elope with Paresh, as she was the only daughter in her family, born after many years. For her, marriage had to happen with her parents' blessings and at the right time. Once Paresh's career was stable and both of them were ready, they had an intimate wedding in 1987. After their marriage, Paresh and Swaroop welcomed two sons – Aditya Rawal and Aniruddh Rawal Akshay Kumar Hints at Paresh Rawal's Return to Hera Pheri 3: 'Fingers Crossed'

Fatima Sana Shaikh recalls being treated like 2nd grade actor in her initial days
Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh recently spoke about how she was treated in the early days of her Bollywood career, especially when she played side roles. She also shared that a co-star once tried to steal the spotlight from her during a a conversation with Humans of Bombay, Fatima reflected on how supporting actors are treated like second-grade on set. 'It hundred percent happens, nepotism exists in every industry. I have played main characters, I have played small characters, I've experienced the difference," she from those experiences, Fatima said she now takes it upon herself to be kind and respectful to junior or character actors. 'That's my responsibility. I don't want anybody to experience what I have. In instances where I've been made to feel small, I don't want to do the same to others. It's unnecessary to be badtameez (mannerless) to people," she added. During a rapid-fire round, Fatima also recalled a moment with a female co-actor who constantly tried to steal the spotlight during scenes. 'I have had a co-actor who tried to make every scene about themselves. Every scene is written for a particular character, and if you make it about yourself, it makes the scene flat. It's irritating. When you're doing a scene and aap aise koni mar mar ke aage ja rahe ho (you're trying to elbow your way to the front) - the scene isn't even yours," she began her acting journey as a child in films like 'Ishq' and 'Chachi 420', but it was her powerful role in 'Dangal' (2016) that brought her into the spotlight. She will be seen next in 'Metro... In Dino', set to release on July 4, alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and Anupam upcoming projects also include 'Gustaakh Ishq' and 'Aap Jaisa Koi'.Must Watch
