Dangal and Secret Superstar actress Zaira Wasim had to face a very unfortunate incident on a flight recently. She got harassed by a middle-aged man on a Vistara Airlines Delhi to Mumbai flight. The 17-year-old has shared about this by posting a video on social media platform Instagram. She said a man sitting behind her was rubbing his foot against her back and neck while she was half asleep. “So, I just landed and you know the whole irony of this is that the guy… this is not done at all. This is not the way, this is not a girl should be made to feel because this is terrible. Is this how they are doing to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don’t decide to help ourselves. This is the worst thing,” Zaira said, with tears in her eyes in the video.
Below is the video that Zaira made which is now being shared by many people for supporting the actress in this incident.
Zaira first thought that the guy must be falling short of space. But later when he brushed against her back, she realized that something bad was happening and she got disturbed. Zaira said she tried to click a photo of the man, but was not able to do so because of the dim lights.
Vistara airlines have given official statements on Twitter regarding this.
We @airvistara have seen the reports regarding @ZairaWasimmm experience with another customer on board last night. We are carrying out detailed investigation and will support Zaira in every way required. We have zero tolerance for such behaviour.

Indians are taking this seriously and are showing their anger over this. Check out some of the replies from users on Twitter:
People try to be nice once the wrong has been done.
If you have zero tolerance then why did you let something so terrible happen in your airline in the first place. And she's clearly mentioned that nobody came to her rescue. People try to be nice once the wrong has been done. #shameful #justiceforzaira
