Mouni Roy Alleges Harassment at Haryana Wedding, Details Disturbing Incident
Bollywood actress Mouni Roy has recently come forward with serious allegations of harassment she faced during a performance at a wedding event in Karnal, Haryana. The actress took to Instagram to share her traumatic experience, describing inappropriate behavior by elderly male guests that left her feeling humiliated and traumatized.
Incident Details: Inappropriate Touching and Lewd Remarks
According to Mouni Roy's detailed account, the incident occurred as she arrived at the event and began walking toward the stage. She alleges that elderly men, whom she referred to as "uncles," and other male family members placed their hands on her waist under the pretext of taking photographs. When she politely asked them to remove their hands, they did not respond positively to her request.
The situation escalated during her performance on stage. Mouni claims that two elderly men positioned themselves directly in front of the stage and began making lewd remarks and inappropriate hand gestures toward her. Despite her polite gestures asking them to stop, they reportedly continued their behavior and even began throwing roses at her during the performance.
Additional Allegations: Low-Angle Videos and Lack of Intervention
Mouni Roy further alleged that these men made videos from low angles while she was performing on an elevated stage. When other attendees asked them to stop this behavior, they reportedly responded with verbal abuse. The actress expressed disappointment that neither family members nor event organizers intervened to stop the harassment, despite the ongoing nature of the incident.
In her emotional Instagram post, Mouni wrote about feeling compelled to share this negative experience, something she typically avoids doing. She emphasized that performers attend such events to contribute to celebrations and should be treated as guests, not subjected to harassment.
Broader Implications and Call for Action
The actress highlighted the broader implications of such incidents, expressing concern for newer artists and performers who might face similar situations. She called for authorities to take action against what she described as "intolerable behavior" and questioned the entitlement displayed by the men involved.
Mouni concluded her post by reflecting on her love for her country and traditions, but expressed dismay at the behavior she encountered. The incident has sparked discussions about safety and respect for performers at private events, particularly in the context of gender-based harassment.
