Saqib Saleem reveals his MeToo story, says a man tried to molest him when he was 21

Hindustan Times  

With female actors such as Tanushree Dutta and Sandhya Mridul, among many others, sharing their sexual harassment stories through social media, the #MeToo movement has gained pace in India. Asked if he ever faced sexual harassment, Saqib says, “Yes, I don’t want to take names, but when I started out as an actor — I was only 21 years old — there was a man who tried to assault me. I’m sure that everyone’s different and an incident such as this must affect different people differently.” He adds that growing up around women makes him take a stand against sexual predators all the more strongly. “Every sexual offender out there should be punished in the severest manner.” However, Saqib emphasises that a strong movement like this shouldn’t be misused. Now, I think we can understand which one is right or a lie.What I’m really worried about is, these anonymous posts that are coming out.” The actor says, “These stories are heartbreaking and sexual offenders are horrible people.
