Taapsee made a shocking revelation during a recent interview where she openly talked about the harassment she faced during her college-going days in Delhi.
Taapsee told IndianExpress, “Eve-teasing used to happen almost on a daily basis in Delhi. I used to travel in DTC buses while going to college for the longest time. I got my car when I was 19. So for two years before getting a car, I used to travel in DTC buses. And eve-teasing used to happen almost daily. Not just that, I have been touched inappropriately in DTC buses. Rubbed at wrong places while in a bus. And if we ventured into crowded areas in Delhi during the time of festivals, people used to touch you at inappropriate places. It was very common and has happened to me.”

Seen also in Akshay Kumar's 'Baby', when the stunning Taapsee was asked if she ever reacted to such inappropriate behaviour that outraged her modesty, Tapsee told IE, “Our upbringing is such that we are told don’t go here, don’t do this, don’t wear so and so clothes, don’t travel to a particular place. It feels as if I am committing a wrong. We are fed such beliefs and thoughts. So when it happened with me, I started running as if it was my mistake. A list of dos and don’ts are only for us women and not men.”
