Divya Dutta On How She Dealt With Man Who Was 'About To Pinch' Her Sister's B**t: "Whacked His Wits" Divya Dutta has recounted a pivotal moment from her youth that highlights her upbringing and the values instilled by her mother. The actress described an incident where she intervened to protect her sister from an eve-teaser, a memory she shared during an interview with Zoom. The event unfolded in a split second, as she recalled, when a man attempted to touch her sister’s buttocks. Without hesitation, she confronted the man, stating, “I just held him. Now where did that confidence come from? Because I was psyched. It came from my mother.” She emphasized that her mother’s teachings empowered her to act decisively, leading to the man’s swift departure as bystanders intervened. “Everyone turned around and then everyone comes to help. That boy just ran away,” she explained, underscoring the importance of standing up for loved ones. The incident, which she described as a defining moment, was rooted in her mother’s guidance. Divya elaborated on how her mother had prepared her to handle harassment by confronting the harasser directly. She shared a parallel story from her school days, when she faced persistent harassment. Instead of dismissing the situation, she confided in her mother, who took immediate action. The next day, her mother waited in the same location with a group of people and confronted the harasser. This act of courage left a lasting impression on Divya, teaching her to overcome fear and assert herself. “That incident taught me a lot about standing up and not letting fear take over,” she reflected, highlighting the role of her mother in shaping her resilience. Beyond her personal experiences, Divya has openly discussed challenges in her professional life, particularly regarding the portrayal of intimate scenes.#zoom #chiraiya #divya_dutta #irrfan_khan #jennifer_lynch
