Zaira Wasim allegedly molested on a flight; recalls the traumatic incident
Zaira Wasim was allegedly assaulted on a flight by a man who rubbed his foot on her back.
National Award winner Zaira Wasim who has spellbound the audience with her performances in movies like Dangal and Secret Superstar was in for a shock as she was allegedly molested by a man during a flight from Delhi to Mumbai.
The incident became known when a teary-eyed and emotional Zaira Wasim broke down and recalled the horrific incident on her Instagram live. The actress stated how the man; who was sitting behind her seat, rubbed his foot against her back while she was half asleep.
"So I just landed. You know the whole irony of this is that I get it. This is not done at all. I'm disturbed. It's fine but this is not the way, this is not how a girl should be made to feel. This is terrible. Is this how they are going to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don't decide to help ourselves and this is the worst thing," Zaira said in her video.
"The lights were dimmed so it was even worse. It continued for another 5-10 minutes and then I was sure of it. He kept nudging my shoulder and continued to move his foot up and down my back and neck. So I was on a flight travelling from Delhi to Mumbai today and right behind me one middle-aged man who made my 2-hour journey miserable. I tried to record it on my phone to understand it better. But because the cabin lights were dimmed, I failed to get it. I ignored it the first time, blamed the turbulence for it. Until I woke up to this pleasant sight of his beautiful foot rubbing my back and neck. Guess he couldn't sit like a civilized human being and placed his foot on my armrest while he's fully 'PHELAOED' his body on his seat. I was all chill till I felt somebody brushing against my back while I was half asleep," Zaira recalled.
The airline in which Zaira was filling took to their Twitter page about the incident and tweeted, "We @airvistara have seen the reports regarding @ZairaWasimmm experience with another customer on board last night. We are carrying out detailed investigation and will support Zaira in every way required. We have zero tolerance for such behaviour."
