“I am hurt but not out. I am shocked but more determined” says Gauahar Khan
Actress Gauahar Khan came out to speak to the press for the first time after the sad incident that occurred on Sunday that left her shocked.
At a recently help press conference in Mumbai, the composed actress thanked her fans and industry for lending her the support she needed at this hour of trial. She read out a statement for those in attendance to express her views on the heinous act and even got teary-eyed while answering a question thrown on her by the press. However, the determined actress gathered courage to wipe off her tears and finish her work. Here are some important things said by the actress at the press meet.
Yes, I was 'ATTACKED'. The physical aspect being a major part of it. But what that coward tried to do to me was mentally even more grave. He attacked my integrity and 'tried' to camouflage his cowardice by his rubbish claims of wanting to send out a message of what he 'thought' the youth of India needed today, according to what I have been reading in the media of the incident.
Who allows a moron to decide what the world should be doing or how a girl should dress?
If actresses are under the radar of such harmful mindsets then how would the common girl or woman be safe?
It angers me to realise that a man thought it is okay to raise his hand and be violent with women at his will. If he was of a set opinion then why was he a part of the crowd for 3 days?
He apparently attacked me because I am an actress so that he could send out his warped message. I hereby use the same status to appeal to all women to stand against such acts.
I am not here to promote any kind of dressing or stating that one must or mustn't wear certain clothes. I am only here to state that no one and I repeat no one has the right to attack, hurt or torture anybody be it a man or woman for exercising once personal thoughts and beliefs might be.
I fully trust the judiciary system of our country and I sincerely hope that starting from me every woman of this country gets justice for any such attacks no matter how small or big.
I feel that pain of all women who have to go through any such attacks in the name of moral policing.
I am shocked but more determined. I am injured but stronger than ever. May the almighty bless all mankind because that is we need.
