Actor Tillotama Shome recently appeared in an interview with Hauterrfly. During the conversation, she revealed a harrowing incident which left an impact on her. The actress revealed that she faced a tormenting experience when she became a victim of molestation in Delhi.

Tillotama opened up in the interview about the incident and said that it happened in Delhi during the winter as she was waiting for a bus. A car then pulled up next to her while she was waiting for a bus, and other males started to harass her. “Then they started catcalling. Somebody threw a small stone. I moved away a little bit more. I was like, I have to go from here. Now either I run, but they can outrun me. So, I decided to stand in the middle of the road and hitch a ride,” she said.

She said that while several cars passed by none of them bothered to stop. Later she saw a medical car approaching, and she immediately hopped into it and sat in the front seat with a stranger.

“We just moved a little bit. He took my hand, and he unzipped his pants, and I guess he wanted me to do whatever. The moment he forced my hand, it was like an instinct hit, like hitting out. I don’t know what I did, but he had to stop his car because something happened. He swerved, whatever. And he asked me to get out,” said Tillotama.

Describing it as a terrifying experience, she said she was shaken by it. Recalling the incident, she added, “I thought it might be safer since he was a doctor. I got in the car and sat in the front seat. But then, the driver unzipped his pants and tried to force my hand. My instinct kicked in, and I hit him. He had to stop the car because of what happened, and he asked me to get out. It was a terrifying experience, and I was shaken. But my instinct to fight back helped me get out of a dangerous situation”.
