Mumbai, Nov 9: Singer and former Bigg Boss contestant Qazi Touqeer recently shared a personal experience that offered him a stark realization of the harassment women often face in public.
During a 'Bigg Boss' house activity, Touqeer was dressed as a woman, complete with a lehenga-choli, makeup, and bridal styling, with actor Manish Goel playing the groom. While Manish remained in character, holding and twirling Touqeer, the physical interaction left Qazi feeling deeply uncomfortable.
Following the activity, Qazi conveyed his discomfort to Manish, who expressed surprise and maintained that his actions were purely part of the act and that he respected women. Manish emphasized that he was aware Touqeer was a man and had no intention of causing any unease.
Reflecting on the incident, Touqeer stated that even a brief experience of being in a woman's attire and receiving unwanted attention was enough to highlight the daily challenges women endure. He passionately spoke about the need for women to confront harassers directly. "Women should slap such men with slippers. They should be slapped directly. They should be thrown in the sea. Directly, if someone whistles or does something, just hit them,” Touqeer remarked, underscoring the severity of the issue and the need for strong responses against inappropriate behavior.
