Bollywood singer-actress Sophie Choudry recalled a shocking incident that she encountered in Mumbai's upscale suburb, Bandra, only a month ago. She shared that she saw a man flashing at her while she was passing through the lane, and called such incidents "disgusting".
During a conversation with Hauterrfly, Sophie shared, "It happened recently, like a month ago in Bandra. I saw a guy literally unzipping and putting everything on display. I was passing from there in my car."
She went on to say, "I don't even think it was conscious, sometimes men just do it without an explanation. There have been times when I have seen men stopping their bikes and doing that while I was walking down the lanes of Khar. These things do happen, and it is disgusting."
"It happens in every country in the world. The first time someone flashed at me was when I was a school kid in London," she added.
Fans put hand around waist: Sophie
During the chat, Sophie also revealed how fans try to overstep the boundaries just because she is a celebrity, but she is very clear about drawing her lines.
"One issue we celebs face a lot is people approaching us and asking if they can click a picture with us. Of course you can. But while at it, they slyly try to slide their hand on your waist from behind. They always try to hold you by the waist when they are trying to take a picture with you as a fan," she revealed.
She continued, "I am so alert about it now that the first thing I say when a fan asks for a photo is "No hands". My entire team is also very alert. I am very particular about this. Why should anybody be allowed to put their hands around me? I am very happy to take a picture with you respectfully, but you do not have access to that."
