Recalling the harrowing incident, Fatima told Hauterrfly, "Once, a man had touched me inappropriately, and I hit him. But he hit me back so hard, that I was fully down. I only hit him because he touched me, but that pissed him off and he hit me to the point that I fell."

Tempo driver followed me in Mumbai: Fatima Sana Shaikh

Fatima also recalled an incident which happened rather recently and in Mumbai itself.

"During the COVID-19 lockdown, I was riding my bicycle in Mumbai wearing a mask, and there was this tempo driver who kept honking and making weird sounds at me. And till the time I didn't take a turn in my lane, he kept following me," she shared.

She added that such incidents are common, irrespective of a person being a celebrity or a commoner. "You only have to be a girl for it," she said.
