Last Saturday, Dangal and Secret Superstar actress Zaira Wasim was allegedly molested on board a flight from Delhi to Mumbai. The actress alleged that the man sitting behind her touched her inappropriately with his foot. The matter became serious and a case was filed on the man.

 

Many celebrities, especially from Bollywood, have come out in support of Zaira Wasim who has alleged that she was molested in a Vistara flight. Well, this time it was Rakhi Sawant who reached out at Zaira. Rakhi Sawant shows sympathy towards the Dangal actress but also at the same time, she has some questions for the teenager.

She wonders about certain discrepancies in the incident, which many will agree are correct observations. People are saying that Rakhi has put up really sensible and valid questions and we are sure you too will want to know the answers to those questions.

In the words of Rakhi,

“Zaira, 17, was troubled by a co-passenger whose name I believe is Vikas. Why did she wait to land in Mumbai before sobbing her grief into the social media? She should’ve yelled and screamed and created havoc on the flight rather than wait for later. The minute the incident happened she should’ve slapped the man. I’d have slapped him and shouted for the co-passengers and cabin crew to gather around me. Ek aadmi kharaab hai toh baki log to flight mein achche Hain na (if one man is misbehaving on a flight there are other decent people on board). Why didn’t Zaira raise a ruckus then and there? Why wait? And why weep like a baby?”

Rakhi strongly believes that this is not the way the actress should have reacted because, “In Dangal, Aamir Khan taught her how to fight. Zaira is the Dangal girl, not some wimpy cry-baby, trying to get public sympathy by weeping. She should’ve beaten the hell out of the offender.”

However, she clears the airline from all the charges as she has traveled a lot by Vistara. She said, “I travel a lot by Vistara. They are a very decent lot. Their cabin crew is polite and considerate. Their pilots are efficient. I can’t understand how or why the incident with Zaira was allowed to escalate out of hand.”

Rakhi was quite bold in comparing the swiftness of police in catching the accused in a celebrity’s molestation case and in another case where a 5 years old girl was raped and brutally murdered. As per Rakhi,

“A celebrity child of 17 has a complaint about harassment. The alleged offender is nabbed and put in custody within hours. A poor little unknown girl of 5 is raped and killed. The offender roams around freely days after the gruesome crime. What is happening in our country? Somewhere priorities are very twisted. Kuch Toh Sharm Karo (show some shame).”

Ashok Pandit, a filmmaker, and an activist stated, “If it’s true (that the incident with Zaira Wasim really happened) then it’s very important to take serious action against the molester. Nobody has the right to humiliate a girl like this. Imagine her state of mind. Today it’s Zaira tomorrow it could be anybody’s daughter, sister, mother or wife. For me, those who remained silent around her are bigger criminals then the molester. Having said that it’s also very important to hear the other side and then come to any conclusion.”

While Apurva Asrani, writer & filmmaker, said, “It is shameful that the man was mannerless enough to rest his foot on her armrest. Compels me to believe any allegation against him thereafter. I am glad she has raised a stink about it and I hope people learn a lesson from this.”

If we go by the latest developments, things don’t seem to go the actress’ way as the airlines have stated, in the letter sent to DGCA, NGT and aviation ministry, that any misbehavior from the side of the accused was not observed and the actress and her mother refused to file an FIR when they were asked to while landing at Mumbai airport.

Earlier, a co-passenger has also stated that the accused didn’t misbehave; the only thing that he did wrong was putting his foot on the armrest. Well, the whole country wants to know the truth. What do you say about this incident? Share your views with us in the comments section below.
