In an interview with Hauterrfly, Bhumi Pednekar spoke about being groped at the age of 14 and that she still can't get over the trauma. She said: “I remember this very very clearly. In Bandra, fairs used to happen back then. I was a teenager, probably 14, and was with my family. I knew what was happening… it’s not like I was unaware. I was walking and somebody kept pinching my a*s."
She added, "Though I looked back, I couldn’t understand who did it because it was very crowded. Somebody tried touching me inappropriately again and again and I was getting paranoid. Though I was with my family, there also was a whole bunch of kids from my building as well. But I didn’t say anything at that time because I was thrown off by what had happened."
The actress stated that she still remembers how it felt. "I remember the poking and the pinching. It’s like your body remembers… these are traumas that you can’t get over,” she added.
