Dangal actress Zaira Wasim took to the social media on Sunday and alleged that she was molested inside a Mumbai-bound Air Vistara flight by a male co-passenger.
Zaira posted two videos on her Instagram on Sunday where the Dangal girl alleged that a middle-aged man sitting behind her on her Delhi-Mumbai Air Vistara flight tried to molest her when she was half asleep. The first video that she posted was recorded inside the plane and another one was after landing in Mumbai. In both the videos, Zaira narrated her harrowing experience of sexual harassment by a male co-passenger inside the flight.
In the first video, Zaira said, "It was all chill till I felt somebody brushing against my back while I was half asleep... Guess he couldn't sit like a civilized (sic) human being and placed his feet on my arm rest while he's fully PHELOAOED (spread) his body on his seat," Zaira said in her Instagram story.

"The man made my two-hour journey "miserable". Slow claps for Vistara's crew guys! Wonderful!" Zaira was heard saying in the video.
In the second video, recorded at the Mumbai airport, visibly upset Zaira fought back her tears as she said, "This is not done! this is not the way anybody should be made to feel! This is terrible!"
"Who is going to help us Girls? If we don't help ourselves, nobody will come ahead" Zaira ends her video.
