Tillotama Shome has impressed the audiences with her brilliant performances in films and series such as Monsoon Wedding, Delhi Crime, The Night Manager, Sir, and A Death in the Gunj among others. Her most recent release is the series Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper, which began streaming on Netflix from July 18. During the promotions of the show, Tillotama recalled a horrifying molestation incident she faced in Delhi.
Talking to Hauterrfly, the actress said, "It was winters in Delhi. It was evening and it was getting dark. I was standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus.
Then a car came and stopped. Six guys got down from it". She added that she moved a little away from them to protect herself.
"Then some cat call started. Somebody threw a small stone. I moved away a little bit more.
Then I was like, I have to go from here. Now either I run, but they can outrun me. They'll outnumber me", she further said.
Tilottama then stated that she decided to stand in the middle of the road and ask for a lift. Many cars passed by but didn't stop untill she saw a car with a medical sign that stopped and she sat in the front seat as she felt safe in that car. "We just moved a little bit.
He took my hand and he unzipped his pants and I guess he wanted me to do whatever. The moment he forced my hand, it was like an instinct hit, like hitting out. I don't know what I did, but he had to stop his car because something happened.
He swerved, whatever. And he asked me to get out", Tilottama conclude.
