Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar known for doing unconventional films recently spoke about an incident that took place when she was groped at the age of 14 during a fair.
During a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Bhumi spoke about the incident that happened to her at the age of 14. Bhumi shared, “I remember this very very clearly. In Bandra, fairs used to happen back then. I was a teenager, probably 14, and was with my family. I knew what was happening… it’s not like I was unaware. I was walking and somebody kept pinching my a*s.”
She further added, “Though I looked back, I couldn’t understand who did it because it was very crowded. Somebody tried touching me inappropriately again and again and I was getting paranoid. Though I was with my family, there also was a whole bunch of kids from my building as well. But I didn’t say anything at that time because I was thrown off by what had happened.”
On the film front, Bhumi was last seen in the comedy-drama Thank You For Coming starring alongside Kusha Kapila and Dolly Singh among others. She is currently gearing up for the thriller Bhakshak where she plays the role of a journalist. The film is slated to release on Netflix on February 9, 2024.
