Preity Zinta

Actress Preity Zinta is a no-nonsense woman who has never minced her words and has always been vocal about issues she believes in or even doesn’t believe in. In today’s times, when crimes against women are on the rise, the actress spoke about a horrifying incident when a man pinched her butt.

Speaking about the incident with Bollywood Life, she said, “So, in school I went to girl school, there is no eve teasing and all there. There were only Eves. But yes, when I went to Delhi, Yes! I’ve got my but pinched…and I was that, you know pink cheeks, very light skin and everybody would be like ooh and then they’d try to tease me and stuff. And then I slapped a couple guys here and there. And then I think one day my brother told me, you are going to get killed, don’t get into all this and then I moved to Mumbai and Mumbai was great.” (Also Read: Preity Zinta furious over makers of ‘Inside Edge’ for their portrayal of women characters)

Hats off to Preity for coming ahead and speaking about this issue as it will prove to be an inspiration for many other women to open up and speak about cases of harassment.
