Gauahar Khan - Beyond the slap

As reported widely in the print media, the actor was apparently shooting the finale of the reality show ‘India’s Rawstar’ on Sunday 30 Nov, when the accused, Akil Malik, 24 ran onto the stage and slapped her. Malik was  then powered by the bouncers present and was later arrested.

The accused claimed that he slapped her, as she wore skimpy clothes which is against Islam.  Though Guaahar khan resumed the shoot within an hour which is a commendable effort, the line taken by the accused must have put her a bit on the back foot, having to justify her dress code.

Now look at the irony of the situation (as reported in print media):-

1. A man first teases her on her own show

2. He argues with her

3. Then goes on stage and inappropriately touches her in front of hundreds of people and on national tv

4. Then, he even slaps her

5. And thereafter, he claims to have slapped her for wearing short revealing clothes!!!

WHICH WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN???

A man teases, touches and slaps a woman who is a big celebrity in front of hundreds of people and thereafter the lady finds herself on the backfoot just because of one statement by the accused!!

I AM FLABBERGASTED!!! ARE WE IN 21ST CENTURY INDIA??

This guy was also released on bail later!!! He should have been charged with some non bailable offences and kept in jail atleast for a few days!!

This incident would leave a mark on the self confidence and courage of several women and for this reason alone, the accused must be swiftly and severely punished.  Unless that is done, other like minded men may harbour plans of similarly molesting a woman and slap her too & then claim to have done it only because of her skimpy dress or to teach her a lesson.

THAT WOULD BE AN UTTER DISGRACE AND A SHAME TO OUR CULTURE!!!

Therefore, we must all ensure that such sick minded people are not allowed to carry out such dastardly acts with another woman.  We also must demand that the current act is dealt with swiftly to serve as a deterrent to other men.

FOR THE PRESENT, WE STAND FIRMLY BEHIND GAUAHAR KHAN!! GREAT GOING LADY DONT LET THESE DESPOTS RUIN YOUR SPIRIT!!
