Gauahar Khan recalled horrific incident of getting slapped thrice during live performance on-stage
Back in 2014, Gauahar Khan grabbed all the spotlight when the diva did a live performance for the finale of the reality show, India’s Raw Star. However, in a sudden turn of events, a man from the audience, Mohammad Akil Malik went up the stage and slapped the actress thrice, due to her short dress. Well, while he was immediately brought down by security personnel, and handed over to the police, the incident left a deep impact on Gauahar. Later, in a podcast interview, she recalled the same and said:
“Not just slapped me once, slapped me thrice. Of course, I still remember it. And I still know what it feels like. And how horrible that was. What kind of mindset do you have that you think its okay to hit, first of all an unnamed person, secondly a woman, thirdly someone who’s not caused you any harm. Just because something triggered you that you disagree with, of my opinion. You don’t become a bigger man by saying that I can hit you. Of course, you can hit me. You can hit anyone you want. You’ve two hands, but why would you do that? Why can’t you just turn your anger into love?”
