Surveen Chawla recalls being harassed as a child

In a conversation with Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, the actress revealed the horrifying incident when a man flashed her. She recalled, “It was much earlier; I was in my 9th standard. I was at home and stepped outside to play in the evening. I still remember — there was this dark-looking Sardar in a turban riding a cycle. He called me towards him, and as I started walking over, I saw him sticking something out of his pant. Then he started m*** while on the bike...”

“I just took a U-turn and ran away, thinking something scary is going on,” she added.
