New Delhi: Kangana Ranaut's revelation on reality show 'Lock Upp' has created a sensation among fans. In the latest episode of the show, when comedian and contestant Munawar Faruqui revealed he was sexually molested as a boy, Kangana too opened up about sexual abuse from her childhood.

The 'Panga' actress told Munawar who revealed a secret to save Saisha Shinde," Humare mohalle mein choti hi umar ka hi ek ladka tha but humse teen chaar saal bada tha. Obviously he was exploring his sexuality. Hum bache bahot chote chote the. Hum logon ko bulate the. Humare kapde utarte the. Humko check karte the. Hum paanch cheh saal ke the. Humein uss time pe samajh nahi aata tha ki humare saath kya ho raha hai. But yeh mujhe lagta hai kaafi badi parecentage bachon ki hai who go through this and there's a huge stigma behind this specially for men. And it is very brave of you, Munawar."

Kangana also appreciated Munawar for speaking about child abuse on a public platform when most people avoid speaking about such issues. She also added that most people feel they themselves are responsible for the abuse. Because such education cannot be given to such small children, the traumatic experiences from their childhood leave an impression on their psyche forever.

Munawar had revealed that he was abused by relatives from family for 4-5 years. He stated, "They were my relatives, two of them and it continued for 4-5 years. I would not understand at the time. It was close family. It went on for 4-5 years and got extreme in the fourth year. Then they realised they should stop it.” He added,"I have never shared this with everyone as I have to face them. I didn't find any use of telling it to anyone. I think my dad knew about it. He said something once that made me feel like he knows it but I don't remember clearly. Now I think dad didn't say anything as he might have felt the same...like how do you tell anyone about it."

Besides appreciating Munawar, Kangana also motivated him by saying that it is best we take such things off our chests.
