Pink actress Tapsee Pannu's acting in the film struck a chord with many and her latest confession is also extremely relatable. The concept of eve teasing isn't new to us. Every other day, the news of women being raped, molested or eve-teased make it to the front page of newspapers. But not very often have we seen celebrities come out in open and talk about it. But Bollywood actress Tapsee Pannu is an exception to that. Tapsee, who is riding high on the success of her latest film Pink which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, recently revealed that she was eve-teased in Delhi. The incident can be traced back to when Tapsee was a teenager. She used to travel in DTC buses while she was in Delhi and while commuting to college, the incident used to happen almost everyday.

Tapsee said, "Eve-teasing used to happen almost on a daily basis in Delhi. I used to travel in DTC buses while going to college for the longest time. I got my car when I was 19. So for two years before getting a car, I used to travel in DTC buses. And eve-teasing used to happen almost daily." "Not just that, I have been touched inappropriately in DTC buses. Rubbed at wrong places while in a bus. And if we ventured into crowded areas in Delhi during the time of festivals, people used to touch you at inappropriate places. It was very common and has happened to me," she further added.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Tapsee was also asked how she reacted to such incidents. To which she said, "Our upbringing is such that we are told don’t go here, don’t do this, don’t wear so and so clothes, don’t travel to a particular place. It feels as if I am committing a wrong. We are fed such beliefs and thoughts. So when it happened with me, I started running as if it was my mistake. A list of dos and don’ts are only for us women and not men."

She is absolutely right. Don't you think so? Lately, the crime against women has gone up tremendously and it is usually the girls who are blamed for not being 'appropriately dressed' or for going out at 'odd timings'. Why isn't that the men are taught to respect women and to not look at them as mere objects of desire?

We are glad Tapsee brought this up! More power to you Tapsee!
