Secret Superstar actress Zaira Wasim has been reportedly molested by a man sitting behind her on the flight. The news came as a shock to everyone. The incident happened when Zaira was on a Delhi-Mumbai Air Vistara flight. The actress shared this horrifying incident through her social media handle.
Zaira Wasim took to Instagram and posted the story. She said that the man sitting behind her started rubbing his foot against the back of her neck when she was half asleep. The actress tried to record the man, but couldn’t do it because of the dim lights.
Zaira further added that she called the cabin crew, but no one responded.
After landing from the flight, she went live on her Instagram and shared her story. She said:
“So, I just landed and you know the whole irony of this is that the guy… this is not done at all. This is not the way, this is not a girl should be made to feel because this is terrible. Is this how they are doing to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don’t decide to help ourselves. This is the worst thing.”
Dangal fame Zaira took a picture of that man’s foot and shared the picture on her Instagram profile. The National Award winning actress shared a screenshot of the recording along with the video.
She posted, “Managed to get this (shot of the molester’s foot). 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. 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.”
She further added, “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 arm rest while he’s fully ‘pheloaed’ his body on his seat.”
Vistara very quickly apologizes for the issue and said that they will be carrying out a detailed investigation on the unfortunate incident.
