As
sad
as
it
sounds,
but
almost
every
girl
has
a
story
to
tell
about
being
molested
at
a
very
young
age.
Actress
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh
is
no
different.
In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
she
revealed
about
being
molested
at
the
age
of
three.
She
told
Pinkvilla,
"I
was
molested
when
I
was
just
three
years
old.
There
is
a
stigma
around
the
whole
sexual
abuse
issue,
which
is
why
women
even
don't
open
up
about
being
exploited
in
life.
But
I
hope,
today
the
world
changes.
There
is
more
awareness
and
education
about
it.
Pehle
toh
yehi
kaha
jaata
tha
that
don't
speak
about
it.
People
will
think
about
it
differently."
Fatima
further
stated
that
when
she
entered
Bollywood,
she
met
many
obnoxious
people
who
asked
her
for
sexual
favours
to
cast
her
in
films.
When
asked
if
she
has
had
any
experience
of
facing
casting
couch,
she
shared,
"Of
course,
I
have
faced
the
casting
couch."
"I
have
been
in
situations
where
I
have
been
told
that
the
only
way
I
get
the
job
is
by
having
sex.
There
are
several
times
people
have
taken
away
work
from
me.
There
have
also
been
times
where
I
knew
I
was
doing
a
film
and
I
was
replaced
because
of
someone's
reference," added
Fatima
while
pointing
at
the
culture
of
favouritism
in
the
film
industry.
With
respect
to
work,
Fatima's
kitty
is
full
of
interesting
projects
like
Ludo
and
Suraj
Pe
Mangal
Bhari.
While
Ludo
is
directed
by
Anurag
Basu
and
stars
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Rajkummar
Rao,
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
and
Sanya
Malhotra
in
the
lead
roles,
Suraj
Pe
Mangal
Bhari
is
helmed
by
Abhishek
Sharma
and
casts
Diljit
Dosanjh
and
Manoj
Bajpayee
in
the
lead
roles.
It
would
be
interesting
to
see
Fatima
in
films.
