Sushmita Sen is a very popular actress across India, who shot to fame after winning the Miss Universe Title in 1994. The actress, while speaking to a media house, revealed that she was sexually harassed by a 15-year old boy, 6 months back.
She said "The last time it happened was six months ago. I was at an awards function. And because there were so many men, he thought I wouldn’t figure out who it was. That’s why I tell you, learn something regarding self-defence, it makes you very alert. So I grabbed his hand, and I was so shocked when I pulled him up, that he was a little boy. 15 years old. Typically for a misbehaviour like that, I could’ve taken lots of other actions. But because it was a 15-year-old boy, I grabbed him by his neck, as if I was saying hello to him, I took him for a walk in front of the crowd and told him on the way, ‘If I make a hue and cry about this, your life will be over bachcha."
She then said that the boy later accepted his mistake and she asked him to leave the venue at once. She then proceeded to offer a solution to this problem.
“But to grown men who are in our country indulging in worse and gang rapes, they should be hanged without a doubt. There should be no understanding of mercy for it, start hanging them and you’ll understand what are the consequences, whether you are in a city or a village. This I strongly believe. And then we’ll think of mercy in a better place to live", concluded Sushmita.
