“I was stalked a lot when I used to play hockey. I was in Dehradun (Uttarakhand) and we used to walk down to our hockey training centre. While I was walking, there was an autowala who was playing a song really loudly. I ignored him, but he soon began following me, which made me angry. I asked him what his problem was, and he told me that he liked me. I asked him to go away, but he didn’t. I then rammed my hockey kit on his rickshaw, which actually scared him off. I always feel you should stand up for yourself rather than waiting for help.”

“Every woman has felt the deadly sensation of being watched, which is unnerving to say the least. Once, I drove home after work, when I noticed a guy, who I had seen on the sets of my show a couple of times, sitting on the footpath. I thought it was odd that he was near my house. And because of the dug-up roads, I had parked my car a bit far from my building and was going to walk home. But before I could get out of my car, he came over and tried to open the locked door. He kept on knocking, which scared me alot . He later went and sat on the footpath and kept staring at me. I then called my husband, who came and thrashed the guy for harassing me.”
